    9: |x| = -87

    no solution. Absolute value can't equal a negative number.

    7: |x + 11 - 9| - 3 = 23

    |x + 11 - 9| = 26

    |x + 2| = 26

    x + 2 = 26 AND x + 2 = -26

    x = 24 AND x = -28

    10: |5 + x| + 5 = 25

    |5 + x| = 20

    5 + x = 20 AND 5 + x = -20

    x = 15 AND x = -25

    11: 3|x - 2| = 9

    |x - 2| = 3

    x - 2 = 3 AND x - 2 = -3

    x = 5 AND x = -1

    9. {x| no solution} because the result of taking an absolute value is always non-negative

    7. |x + 11 - 9| - 3 = 23

    |x + 2| - 3 = 23

    |x + 2| = 26

    x+2=26 or x+2=-26

    x=24 or x=-28

    so, {x| -28, 24}

    0. |5 + x| + 5 = 25

    |5 + x| = 20

    5+x=20 or 5+x=-20

    x=15 or x=-25

    So, {x| -25, 15}

    11. 3|x - 2| = 9

    |x - 2| = 3

    x-2=3 or x-2=-3

    x=5 or x=-1

    So, {x| -1, 5}
