To solve the absolute value equation you first need to get everything not in the absolute value bars to the other side of the equation.

Step 1) Divide by 4
|n+8| = 14

*Remember: when solving absolute value equations, you make what the expression (n+8) is equal to negative and positive. Not the other way around.

Step 2) Make two equations

n+8 = 14
n+8 = -14

Solve and you'll see that n= 6 and -22

Line AB contains points A(-6,1) and B(1,4).

Free_Kalibri [48]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1- You have that the equation of the line is:

$y=mx+b$

Where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

2- Based on the information given in the problem, the lines $AB$ and $CD$ are parallel, which means that both have the same slope. Therefore, you can calculate the slope of $AB$ :
