IS THIS CORRECT?
|3t+6|=9

3t+6=9 3t-6=9
-6 -6 -6 -6
3t=3 3t=3
divide by 3 divide by 3
t=1 t=1
1,1 or just 1
OR would it just be the first example i can not remember if i am suppose to add and minus.

Sorry it is not....can u go back 2 the old post where i wrote out the two eqns 4 u?

phi · Answer

the | | give you 2 equations.  one equation by just "dropping" the | |
3t+6=9 
which you solved.  t=1

the other equation is by replacing the | | with parens, and multiplying the whole thing by -1:
-(3t+6)=9

You just flipped the sign on the 6. (so that answer will be wrong)

solve
-(3t+6)=9
or
-3t - 6 = 9

I thought you would make the 9 negative to get another solution

phi · Answer

you could do that:   -(3t+6)=9   multiply both sides by -1
3t+6= -9
which is another way to write the equation.
