Please help me. What is the next step to get rid of the absolute value?

I'm not sure my advise is right. Not thinking super straight today. XD

If the last image were correct, you could just solve it with the nominator equivalent to zero, and even if it weren't, you could still multiply through by the denominator leaving the nominator less than or equal to 0, right? Assuming what I said is correct, then it shouldn't be too difficult to find the x values.
