|2x � 3| = 11

2x � 3 = 11 or 2x � 3 = -11

2x = 11+3 or 2x = -11+3

2x = 14 or 2x = -8

x = 14/2 or x = -8/2

x = 7 or x = -4

So the solutions are x = 7 or x = -4

Hello,
This is solved as two problems:
2x � 3 = 11 And 2x � 3 = -11
x=7 x=-4
Check these answers into the original and we see they both work.
Make sense?
