thanks

Answer 6

No. you should have two values.

Answer 7

is it x= -1 5/6

Answer 8

Considering the negative and positive values inside the abs value.
we have \[2|3x-5| - 8 = 8\]
upon simplifying\[|3x-5| = 8\]
then split it into two cases
3x-5 = 8
-(3x-5) = 8
Then solve for x, there you can find the answer.
