Answer:
[tex]n=-\frac{5}{2}[/tex] and [tex]n=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
There is no x variable present in the question, but if you are asking for the value of n, I can help with that.
The absolute value function always results in a positive number, so that means 6n+7 can equal 8 or negative 8, and the absolute value function takes care of the rest. First, we will solve for 6n + 7 equaling 8.
[tex]6n+7=8[/tex]
Subtracting 7 from both sides gets us
[tex]6n=1[/tex]
Dividing by 6 from both sides is equal to
[tex]n=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
Now we will solve for 6n + 7 equaling negative 8.
[tex]6n+7=-8[/tex]
Subtracting 7 from both sides is equal to
[tex]6n=-15[/tex]
Dividing by 6 from both sides gets us
[tex]n=-\frac{15}{6}[/tex]
Simplifying, we have
[tex]n=-\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
