\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2|x-3|=-2 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "|x-3|=-2/2 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "|x-3|=-1 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore
\n" ); document.write( "x-3= -1 or -(x-3)=-1
\n" ); document.write( "x=-1+3 or -x=-1-3
\n" ); document.write( "x=2 or x=4
