Q. Solve for b.0=∣b−6∣Write your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.b= _____ or b= _____
Understand absolute value equation: Understand the absolute value equation.The equation 0=∣b−6∣ means that the expression inside the absolute value, b−6, can be either positive or negative, but its absolute value is 0. This implies that b−6 must be equal to 0.
Solve for b non-negative: Solve for b when the expression inside the absolute value is non-negative.Since ∣b−6∣=0, we can write b−6=0.Now, add 6 to both sides to isolate b.b−6+6=0+6b=6
Solve for b non-positive: Solve for b when the expression inside the absolute value is non-positive.In this case, since the absolute value is 0, the expression inside can only be 0, so there is no need for a second case. The only solution is b=6.
