∣x∣=x  when x>0       =−x  when x<0  now consider x>0  2x^2 −7x+6=0  2x^2 −4x−3x+6=0  2x(x−2)−3(x−2)=0  (x−2)(2x−3)=0  x=2  and (3/2)  when x<0  2x^2 +7x+6=0  2x^2 +4x+3x+6=0  2x(x+2)+3(x+2)=0  (x+2)(2x+3)=0  x=−2 and ((−3)/2)  so x=±2  and ±(3/2)

let t=∣x∣≥0  ⇒2t^2 −7t+6=0  ⇒(2t−3)(t−2)=0  ⇒t=(3/2), 2 (both >0⇒ok)  ⇒x=±(3/2), ±2
