Isolate the absolute value terms. Subtract 3 on both sides of the equation.
-10 | 8p - 10 | = -40
Divide both sides of the equation by -10.
| 8p - 10 | = 4
You know that absolute value of any number regardless of sigs is always a positive number. Knowing that, set these equations.
8p - 10 = -4 and 8p - 10 = 4
Solve for x in each case to your solutions.
