To solve the absolute value equation you first need to get everything not in the absolute value bars to the other side of the equation.
Step 1) Divide by 4
|n+8| = 14
*Remember: when solving absolute value equations, you make what the expression (n+8) is equal to negative and positive. Not the other way around.
Step 2) Make two equations
n+8 = 14
n+8 = -14
Solve and you'll see that n= 6 and -22
