2%2Aabs%283x-4%29%2B15=9 Start with the given equation


2%2Aabs%283x-4%29=-6 Subtract 15 from both sides.


abs%283x-4%29=-3 Divide both sides by 2



Since the equation abs%283x-4%29=-3 is NEVER true (note: remember, the absolute value of any number is ALWAYS positive), there are no solutions to abs%283x-4%29=-3



So there are no solutions to the original equation.
