Basic Math Examples

| n | = 8

$| n | = 8$

Step 1

Remove the absolute value term. This creates a

\pm

$\pm$ on the right side of the equation because

| x | = \pm x

$| x | = \pm x$ .

n = \pm 8

$n = \pm 8$

Step 2

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

Step 2.1

First, use the positive value of the

\pm

$\pm$ to find the first solution.

n = 8

$n = 8$

Step 2.2

Next, use the negative value of the

\pm

$\pm$ to find the second solution.

n = - 8

$n = - 8$

Step 2.3

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

n = 8, - 8

$n = 8, - 8$

n = 8, - 8

$n = 8, - 8$
