Question 370778: Can you help me solve this equation for x?
2(absolute value)11x+17-x(absolute value)=46
I tried doing the equation in different parts at a time (like a compound inequality), but that didn't work. I even tried substituting different numbers for x, but that just left me with more questions to begin with.

Sorry: I can't make out what is in the absolute
value and what is not.
