Question 557011
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \left|\frac{x}{2}\ +\ 3\right|\ =\ \left|x\ -\ \frac{2}{3}\right|]


Either 


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{x}{2}\ +\ 3\ =\ x\ -\ \frac{2}{3}]


or


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{x}{2}\ +\ 3\ =\ -\left(x\ -\ \frac{2}{3}\right)]


Just solve for *[tex \Large x] in both cases.  Hint:  The first step in each case should be to multiply both sides by 2.  When you are done, remember to check both answers.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
