Based on the information, g(x) = |x - 8| - 6 is the translated function.

If the parent function is f(x) = |x|, and it's translated 8 units to the right and 6 units down, the new function can be expressed as:

g(x) = |x - 8| - 6

In this new function g(x):

|x - 8| represents the translation 8 units to the right.

Subtracting 6 (-6) at the end represents the translation 6 units down.

So, g(x) = |x - 8| - 6 is the translated function.
