Help ? Absolute value?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\left| x ^{2}-3x \right|=-4x+6\]

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

solve for both positive and negative cases when dealing with absolute value \[x^{2}-3x = \pm (-4x+6)\] Positive case: \[x^{2}-3x = -4x+6\] \[x^{2}+x-6 =0\] \[(x+3)(x-2) = 0\] \[x = -3, 2\] Negative case: \[x^{2}-3x = 4x-6\] \[x^{2}-7x+6 =0\] \[(x-6)(x-1) = 0\] \[x = 1, 6\]
