Q. Solve for ss.\newlines6=6|s| - 6 = -6\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlines=s = _____ or s=s = _____
  1. Add 66 to isolate: Add 66 to both sides of the equation to isolate the absolute value.\newlines6+6=6+6|s| - 6 + 6 = -6 + 6\newlines=0|s| = 0
  2. Determine satisfying values: Determine the values of ss that satisfy the equation s=0|s| = 0.\newlineSince the absolute value of a number is 00 only when the number itself is 00, we have:\newlines=0s = 0\newlineThere is no negative counterpart since 00 is its own negative.
