Given the expression: 36|12-35x| = -10

Solution:
|| stands for the absolute value of a number and an absolute value of any number will always be positive.

36|12-35x| = -10

36(12+35x) =-10

432 + 1260x = -10

1260x = -10 -432

1260x = -442

Divide both sides by 1260 in order to get the value of x.

 x = -442/1260 or -0.35
