I need to review modulus function

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on solving the equation 14 - 9|x - 8| = 15, specifically focusing on the modulus function. Participants emphasize the importance of isolating the absolute value expression to simplify the problem. The correct approach involves manipulating the equation to find the values of x that satisfy it. This method is crucial for students preparing for exams that include absolute value equations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of absolute value functions
  • Basic algebraic manipulation skills
  • Familiarity with solving linear equations
  • Knowledge of the properties of equality
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of absolute value equations
  • Practice solving various absolute value problems
  • Learn techniques for isolating variables in equations
  • Explore the concept of piecewise functions
USEFUL FOR

Students preparing for mathematics exams, educators teaching algebra, and anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of absolute value functions.

The link you posted has nothing to do with your specific question, so I removed it. It strikes me as an attempt to spam us. However, I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

Can you show us what you think you should do? Perhaps you should isolate the absolute valued expression...what do you find?
