$|2x - 1| = | - x - 2|$

Thus ;

$2x - 1 = - x - 2$

Add both sides x

$2x + x - 1 = - x + x - 2$

$3x - 1 = - 2$

Add both sides 1

$3x - 1 + 1 = - 2 + 1$

$3x = - 1$

Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{ - 1}{3} \\$

$x = - \frac{1}{3} \\$

$2x - 1 = - ( - x - 2)$

$2x - 1 = x + 2$

Subtract both sides x

$2x - x - 1 = x - x + 2$

$x - 1 = 2$

Add both sides 1

$x - 1 + 1 = 2 + 1$

$x = 3$
