This question was just recently asked and answered.
The distance between x and -6 is |x - (-6)|, which simplifies to |x+6|.
An equation saying that this distance is 1/4 is:
|x + 6| = 1/4
The two solutions are (in decimal) -6.25 and -5.75. You can write the solution as an expression using "plus-or-minus" notation:
x = -6 ± 1/4
