12=| b/6 |

12 = \frac{b}{6}

b = - 72 or b = 72

Solution steps

12 = \frac{b}{6}

Switch sides

\frac{b}{6} = 12

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

\frac{b}{6} = - 12 or \frac{b}{6} = 12

\frac{b}{6} = - 12 or \frac{b}{6} = 12

b = - 72 or b = 72

3 ∣ 5 - w ∣ - 8 = 4

∣ 6 x - 3 ∣ = 9

∣ y - 11 ∣ = 36

∣ 4 x + 10 ∣ + 6 = 11

3 ∣ 2 x - 7 ∣ - 5 = 4
