+9abs%289-8x%29=2x%2B3
recall:abs%289-8x%29=sqrt%28%289+-+8+x%29%5E2%29

solutions are:
9+%289+-+8x%29++=+2+x+%2B+3 or +9%28-+%289+-+8x%29%29++=+2+x+%2B+3+

9+%289+-+8x%29++=+2+x+%2B+3+
81+-+72x++=+2+x+%2B+3+
81+-+3++=+2+x+%2B+72x+
78++=+74x+
x=78%2F74
x=39%2F37

or
9%28-+%289+-+8x%29%29++=+2+x+%2B+3
9%28-+9%2B8x%29++=+2+x+%2B+3
-+81%2B72x++=+2+x+%2B+3
-2x%2B72x++=+81+%2B+3
70x++=+84
x=84%2F72
x=7%2F6
