Answer:

1 and 2/39 or 1 and 1/6

Explanation:

Absolute value can be either positive or negative depending on the variable.

Positive: Negative:

9*(9-8x)=2x+3 9*(8x-9)=2x+3

81-72x=2x+3 72x-81=2x+3

78=74x -84=-70x

x=1 and 2/39 x=1 and 1/6

Absolute value rule:

if x>0 |x|=x

if x=0 |x|=0

if x<0 |x|=-x
