You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I can see how the solution is $\"-5%2F2\"$ or $\"17%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Whatever is inside the absolute value sign, it must equal
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-11\"$ or $\"11\"$ , since $\"+abs%28-11%29+=+11+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and $\"+abs%2811%29+=+11+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "so, $\"+2x+-+6+=+11+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2x+=+17+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+17%2F2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2x+-6+=+-11+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2x+=+-5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+-5%2F2+\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
