    In this problem, we're going to drop the absolute value for our first case, so the positive side is going to equal the positive side, and our second case, the positive side of one is going to equal the opposite of the other side. So here when we subtract our X's, we get 11 equaling -4 which is not possible. So this portion's going to have no solution. When we look at this other piece, we get X + 11 equaling negative X + 4, take all the XS to one side, all the whole numbers to the other, and divide. So we get X equal -7 halves.
