To start, we need to recognize that absolute value is a way of expressing the magnitude of a number, regardless of its sign. Thus, to get rid of the absolute value, we need to consider the two cases in which the expression can have either a positive or a negative sign.

For the case of a positive sign, we can simply write the expression as: 14-(x-6)

For the case of a negative sign, we can multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to get: -14 + (x-6)

Overall, we can express the expression without the absolute value symbol as:

14-(x-6) or -14 + (x-6)
