Isolating Absolute Value for Material Tolerance

A construction manager is using the equation 3x51=6|3x - 5| - 1 = 6 to determine the allowable deviation in the length of a steel beam. Recall the procedure for solving absolute value equations. State the isolated form of the absolute value equation, and write the two resulting linear equations that must be solved to find the deviation boundaries.
