On a separate sheet of paper, solve the absolute value equation that appears in the applet below. [br]Once you obtain both solutions, enter them in the input boxes. [br][br]Stuck? Try task 2 again![br][br]If you get any one (or more) of these solutions correct, you'll see a big [color=#ff00ff][b][i]"Correct !!! "[/i][/b][/color] sign appear. [br][color=#0000ff][br]Repeat this exercise as many times as you need in order to master this concept! [/color]

Still stuck? Here's an example problem:[br][br]|x- -4|=10[br][br]This is telling us that the expression (x- -4) gives us a value that is 10 units away from -4. That means it can either end up at 10 or -10. [br][br]So, x- -4 = 10 or x- -4=-10[br][br]That means, x+4 = 10 or x+4=-10[br][br]Which tells us that x=6 or x=-14
