x = x equals StartFraction 29 Over 2 EndFraction or x equals negative StartFraction 15 Over 2 EndFraction or x = –
x = –x equals negative StartFraction 29 Over 2 EndFraction or x equals StartFraction 15 Over 2 EndFraction or x =
x = –x equals negative StartFraction 29 Over 2 EndFraction or x equals negative StartFraction 15 Over 2 EndFraction or x = –
x = x equals StartFraction 29 Over 2 EndFraction or x equals StartFraction 15 Over 2 EndFraction or x =

Answer 1

The question is unintelligible as formatted.

|x/6 - 7/12| = 11/6
|2x/12 - 7/12| = 22/12
|2x - 7| = 22

If 2x-7 ≥ 0 then 2x-7=22, x = 29/2

If 2x-7 < 0 then 7-2x = 22, x = -15/2

Answer 2

x = 29/2 or x = -15/2
