Explanation:

Assuming the absolute value function is


|8 - 2p| = 6

Then by definition of absolute value function,


(8 - 2p) = 6

Or

-(8-2p)=6

We solve the two equations to get


2p = 8 - 6 \: or \: 2p = 8 + 6


2p = 2 \: or \: 2p = 14


p = 1 \: or \: p = 7

The number line is shown in the attachment.
