To find an absolute value equation that has the solutions  -6  and  10:

 

First:       find the midpoint between these numbers (their average):  (-6 + 10) / 2  =  4/2  =  2

               The average can be either a positive number or a negative number.

Second:  find the distance between this average and either of the numbers:  the distance from  2  to  10  is  8.

               Remember:  the distance must be a positive number.

Finally:    place these numbers into this equation:  | x - average |  =  distance     --->     | x - 2 |  =  8     <--- the answer

 

Now, can you do problem #2?
