Not the whole solution, but both expressions of y would be equal, so


The critical x values are at 5 and at 3/2. Intervals on x using these critical points would be . Any values of the absolute values expressions are either negative or nonnegative; you determine which between negative or nonnegative in each interval. You may have three separate equations to solve, and then TEST each result in the original two equations.
