Question 61760
|2/3x-1|>5 solve for x 
----------
We don't know if (2/3)x-1 is negative or not negative 
so we have to check both possibilities:
Checking that it is positive you get:
(2/3)x-1>5
(2/3)x>6
x>9
-------------
Checking that it is negative:
-((2/3)x-1)>5
(2/3)x-1<-5
(2/3)x<-4
x<-6
-------------
Solution:
x<-6 or x>9
