Full solution

Q. Solve for ff.\newline4=f8-4 = |f| - 8\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlinef=f = _____ or f=f = _____
  1. Isolate absolute value: Understand the equation and isolate the absolute value. We have the equation 4=f8–4 = |f| − 8. To isolate the absolute value, we need to add 88 to both sides of the equation. 4+8=f8+8-4 + 8 = |f| − 8 + 8 4=f4 = |f|
  2. Solve for f: Solve for f considering the definition of absolute value.\newlineThe absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, which means it is always non-negative. Therefore, if f=4|f| = 4, then ff can be either 44 or 4-4 because both 44 and 4-4 are at a distance of 44 from zero.\newlineSo, f=4f = 4 or f=4f = -4.
