To solve the equation ( 6 – |____| = -1 ), we first isolate the absolute value expression.
1. Subtract 6 from both sides:
[
-|____| = -1 – 6
]
This simplifies to:
[
-|____| = -7
]
2. Multiply both sides by -1:
[
|____| = 7
]
Now, the absolute value equation ( |____| = 7 ) means that the value inside the absolute value can be either 7 or -7. However, we are looking for a value that fits the original equation.
So we can set it to 7:
– If ( |____| = 7 ), then the answer that fits in the blank is 7.
Therefore, the correct answer is C) 7.
