How do you solve #- abs(4 - 8b)= 12 #? Algebra Linear Inequalities and Absolute Value Absolute Value Equations 1 Answer Adrian D. Jul 9, 2015 No solution Explanation: Because of the absolute function #|4-8b|# is positive (greater or equal to zero) for any value #b#, therefore #-|4-8b|# is less than or equal to zero for any #b#, it cannot therefore ever equal 12.
