Solve:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"abs%282x%2B1%29+=+3\"$ Remove the absolute-value bars.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B1+=+3\"$ or $\"2x%2B1+=+-3\"$ Subtract 1 from both sides in both of these.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+=+2\"$ or $\"2x+=+-4\"$ Now divide both sides by 2.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x+=+1%29\"$ or $\"highlight%28x+=+-2%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
