Question 560106
|8x-3|=6
-----
10

---
If the fraction [(8x-3)/10] is in the absolute value sign
you get two equations:
(8x-3)/10 = 6 and (8x-3)/10 = -6
8x-3 = 60 or (8x-3)= -60
8x = 63   or 8x = -57
x = 63/8  or x = -57/8
------------------------------
If the 10 is not in the absolute value sign you get
|8x-3| = 60
Then you get:
8x-3 = 60 or 8x-3 = -60
8x = 63  or 8x = -57
8x = 63/8 or x = -57/8
================
Either way you get the same result.
