@PFEH.1999 :)
OpenStudy (jhannybean):
first add +2 to both sides of the equation.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
|-3n|-2=4
|-3n|=4+2=6
OpenStudy (jhannybean):
|-3n|= 6
Therefore,
3n = 6 or 3n= -6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 2 or -2 would give 6 in this case

Now solve n for both functions.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so we hava to cases:
\( \large \color{red}{(1)} : |-3n| = 6 \) for \( n \ge 0 \) thus \(3n = 6 \) so \( n=2 \)
\( \large \color{red}{(2)} : |-3n|=6 \) for \( n < 0 \) so \( -3n = 6 \) so \( n=-2 \)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
*two cases
OpenStudy (anonymous):
A ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what do u think?

Well, since you said n = 2 or -2, I'm assuming it would be A ?
