Solving with Absolute Values

When it comes to resolving equations with absolute values, the process involves identifying solutions where the variable is encapsulated within an absolute value symbol. The central concept to remember is that the expression nestled within the absolute value can manifest as either a positive or a negative number. Therefore, the equation should be divided into two distinct scenarios for solving, taking into account both potential outcomes.
