Answer:

x=4/3, 8/3

Explanation:

We will solve this in two steps, one where the right hand side is 2, one where it is -2. This is because the equation is satisfied either way when
|6-3x| is equal to either of those values.

Let's start with 2. We have
6-3x=2. Subtracting 6 from both sides and then dividing by 3 gives us that x = 4/3. This is the first value.

Now, we solve for when it equals -2. We have
6-3x=-2. Subtracting 6 from both sides and then dividing by 3 gives us that x = 8/3. This is the second value.

Feel free to contact me with any questions about my answer. I hope this helps!
