To solve the equation |3.7x+13.6+2/5|=28.4+2/5, i can split it into two separate equations:

1. 3.7x+13.6+2/5=28.4+2/5

2. 3.7x+13.6+2/5=-28.4-2/5

Solving the first equation, i get:

3.7x+13.6+2/5=28.4+2/5

3.7x=28.4+2/5-13.6-2/5

3.7x=14.8

x=14.8/3.7

x=4

Solving the second equation, i get:

3.7x+13.6+2/5=-28.4-2/5

3.7x=-28.4-2/5-13.6-2/5

3.7x=-42.4

x=-42.4/3.7

x=-11.46

Therefore, the solutions to the equation |3.7x+13.6+2/5|=28.4+2/5 are x=4 and x=-11.46.
