I don't know how you would solve the problem. I can show you how
I solve it. Then you can decide for yourself whether that is the method you will use.
First recall the definition of absolute value:
That means we can say that
|\ =\ 12)
means that
\ =\ 12)
or
\ =\ -12)
Now all that is left is to solve the two ordinary equations to get the two elements of the solution set.
