Answer:


x = 1 (1)/(2) \: \\ x = - 1 (1)/(2)

Explanation:

If we're solving for x, then we should divide both sides by 2 and then simplify.


(2 |x| = 3) / 2


|x| = (3)/(2)

This gives us the final answer of


x = ±(3)/(2)

Which can be simplified into:


x = 1(1)/(2) , \: - 1(1)/(2)

Answer:
x_1 = -(3)/(2) \\x_2 = (3)/(2) \\\\

X could equal either -3/2, or 3/2 because x is made into an absolute value
