Solve for X:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2abs%283X-5%29+=+14\"$ First divide both sides by 2.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"abs%283X-5%29+=+7\"$ Now remove the absolute-value bars.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3X-5+=+7\"$ or $\"3X-5+=+-7\"$ Add 5 to both sides in each equation.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x+=+12\"$ or $\"3x+=+-2\"$ Now divide both sides by 3.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+4\"$ or $\"x+=+-2%2F3\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
