guide 2 ch 12, pg 178

i dont understand one thing in the algebraic solution provided to the question. When - sing is taken from ( 1-x ) in absolute value brackets, it remains ( 1-x), should not it become (-1+x )?

per the forum rules, please reproduce the entire problem, exactly as originally provided.

if you are asking about something in an answer key, please reproduce the relevant portion of the answer key as well. (you should reproduce enough text so that a reader doesn't need the book on hand to understand the discussion.)

thank you.
