Question 227283
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


That would depend on what you wanted to accomplish by altering it.  If you mean what can you do to put it into a form such that it can be solved, use the definition of absolute value:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |x|\ =\ \left\{\ \ x\text{ if }x\ \geq\ 0\cr-x\text{ if }x\ <\ \,0\right]


Other than that, I can't help you much unless you would care to share a specific problem.
