Question 757436
When absolute value is in the equation, the value of what's inside the | | can be positive or negative.<P>
To solve an abs value equation, solve two equations.<P>
y-5 > 3 and -(y-5) > 3<P>
y-5 >3 <P>
y > 8<P>
-(y-5) > 3 (when you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, flip the sign.)<P>
y-5 < -3<P>
y < 2<P>
The solution is y<2, y>8
