Question

|a|-3/4=-5/8 Solve and show your work?

Answer 1

Answer:

{-1/8, 1/8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve |a|-3/4=-5/8 for |a|:  Add 3/4 to both sides of this equation, obtaining:

|a| - 6/8 + 6/8 = -5/8 + 6/8, or |a| = 1/8.  This absolute value function has two components:

a = 1/8 and a = -1/8.
