Answer:
x = 5.2 or x = -5.2
Step-by-step explanation:
The GCF stands for greatest common factor. To represent a sum by its GCF we need to use the distributive property and we need to first find the GCF of the numbers. Let's break each number by its factors:

We now multiply the numbers that appear on both.

We now apply the distributive property:

Technically speaking, because the way you have the question written, in words the equation would be said as y equals one-thirds multiplied by the absolute value of x, then minus two. Properly saying as y equals two less that the product of one-third and the absolute value of x.
The absolute value is the distance away from 0 therefor the value would alway equal as a positive value. EX1: |21| = 21 EX2: |-21| = 21
even if you considered -2 within y=1/3|x|-2 as -2 being negative two instead of minus two, then it would be the same meaning in the case that you have written out in a mathematical equation format, but really because -2 comes after 1/3|x| and -2 is not in parenthesis then it would make more since to say minus two.
