Explanation:
first write as |2x - 5 | = 2 (divide by 6 )
then 2x - 5 = 2 → 2x = 7 →
# x = 7/2 # also 2x - 5 = - 2 → 2x = 3 →
# x = 3/2 #

Explanation:
First, we can divide both sides by
#(abs(2x-5)6)/6=12/6#
#abs(2x-5)=2#
This can no be split up into two separate equations because of the absolute value.
Recall that if
#2x-5=2#
#2x-5=-2#
Solving for each of these gives
