When working with absolute values, first you want to isolate the absolute value. Then solve for the negative and positive of the absolute value. So first you start with |3b| = 15 3b/3 = 15/3 b = 5 Then do the negative absolute value -|3b| = 15 -3b/-3 = 15/-3 b = -5 Therefore the absolute value of 5 and -5 times 3 is 15.
