Solve |2y - 2| = 15... Help Please!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm guessing that those | are supposed to be parenthesis. So: Y=8.5 (8.5 * 2 - 2) =15

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

Those aren't parentheses, it means the absolute value..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what I thought at first but absolute value doesn't seem like it would be in this problem.

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

Find all solutions for y by breaking the absolute value into the positive and negative components.
