Treat the absolute value expression as you would a variable, by isolating the absolute value expression. So, subtract 14 from both sides of the equation. Then, divide both sides by 2. Now, solve for the variable, "x," by isolating the variable, "x." Add 6 to both sides of the equation, and you have your answer.

X = 18
