Answer:


S=\left \{ 0\:or\:6 \right \}

Explanation:

Absolute value equation has one property that explains why we'll have two solutions for that equation:


|a|=-b \Rightarrow a=-b\:and\:a=b


3|v-3|=9

Dividing by three to simplify it:


3|v-3|=9\\(3|v-3|)/(3)=(9)/(3)\Rightarrow |v-3|=3\\|v-3|=3\\

Applying that property over here, the absolute value is equal to one value and its symmetrical one. Notice that when we take the bars out v-3=3 and v-3=-3.


v-3=-3\Rightarrow v=-3+3\Rightarrow v=0\\v-3=3\Rightarrow v=3+3 \Rightarrow v=6\\S=\left \{ 0\:or\:6 \right \}
