Solution Steps

To solve the absolute value equation \(|6z - 6| = 9\), we need to consider the definition of absolute value. The equation \(|A| = B\) implies two possible equations: \(A = B\) and \(A = -B\). Therefore, we will split the given equation into two separate linear equations and solve each for \(z\).

Solution Approach
  1. Split the absolute value equation into two separate equations:
    • \(6z - 6 = 9\)
    • \(6z - 6 = -9\)
  2. Solve each equation for \(z\).
  3. Check if the solutions are valid.
Step 1: Split the Absolute Value Equation

Given the equation \(|6z - 6| = 9\), we split it into two separate linear equations:

  1. \(6z - 6 = 9\)
  2. \(6z - 6 = -9\)
Step 2: Solve Each Equation

Solve the first equation: \[ 6z - 6 = 9 \] Add 6 to both sides: \[ 6z = 15 \] Divide by 6: \[ z = \frac{15}{6} = \frac{5}{2} \]

Solve the second equation: \[ 6z - 6 = -9 \] Add 6 to both sides: \[ 6z = -3 \] Divide by 6: \[ z = \frac{-3}{6} = \frac{-1}{2} \]

Final Answer

The solutions to the equation \(|6z - 6| = 9\) are: \[ \boxed{z = \frac{5}{2} \text{ or } z = \frac{-1}{2}} \]

Which of the following statements about the relationship between sensation and perception and culture is NOT accurate? Multiple Choice The mechanics of sensation differs depending on the culture in which one was raised. Culture influences which stimuli one attends to as they perceive the world. The tendency to miss changes that have occurred in a scene are influenced by the culture in which one was raised. Perception can be shaped by the physical environment in which one lives.
