Answer 1

HELP

Answer 2

First add 8 to both sides,
=2|3x-5|=16
Then divide both sides by 2,
=|3x-5|=8

Then you eliminate the absolute value, you do this by splitting the equation into two equatons in which one equals positive 8 and the other equals -8:
3x-5=8 and 3x-5=-8

I'm assuming you know how to solve one step equations, x comes to equal:
x = -1 and 13/3
