Question

|y-8|+7=3 Step by step please.

Answer 1

y+8+7=3 ( absolute value means no negatives)
y+15=3
subtract 15 on both sides
y=-12

Answer 2

You can add them even though they have the | | ?

Answer 3

amk's answer is wrong. The absolute value sign means that the term inside the sign is made positive. So:

|y-8| + 7 = 3.
|y-8| = -4

Since |y-8| must be at least 0, this equation has no solution.
