Why are there two solutions for the equation |6 + y| = 2? Explain. (there should be a solution and an explanation onto why there is two answers)

Since it is in absolute value it switches the negative to a positive so here let me show you

|6+y| = 2

If you try -4 you get 2 in a positive form so -4 is one correct.

The second correct one is -8 because 6-8 is -2 but as I was saying before how the absolute value changes it into positive, that means -2 would be switched to 2 meaning that -8 is also a correct answer.

If you need more help just search up what absolute value is.
