If you wrote the equation the way you intended,
abs%283x-3%2F7%29=2%261%2F3

3%2Aabs%28x-1%2F7%29=7%2F3

abs%28x-1%2F7%29=7%2F9


If x-1/7 is non-negative,
x-1%2F7=7%2F9
x=7%2F9%2B1%2F7
highlight_green%28x=58%2F63%29

If x-1/7 is negative,
-%28x-1%2F7%29=7%2F9
-x=7%2F9-1%2F7
x=1%2F7-7%2F9
highlight_green%28x=-40%2F63%29

In case you meant to show abs%28%283-3%29%2F7%29=2%261%2F3, the the solution result is system%28x=58%2F9%2Cor%2Cx=-40%2F9%29.
