I think the trick is to add the two middle terms together. (And the 2 end terms).
8 - 12x
The variable is x. The coefficient is - 12.
8 is a constant.
The coefficient always goes with a variable.
3x^2 + 2x + 5
Nothing can be combined. The leading coefficient is 3 (which goes with the greatest power of the variable x^2 in this case) and the other coefficient is 2. 5 is a constant.

Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
(5/6)x – 4 = 11
(5/6)x = 11 + 4
(5/6)x = 15
5x = 15×6 = 90
x = 90/5 = 18
By the chain rule,

which follows from
.
is then a function of
; denote this function by
. Then by the product rule,
![\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\left[\dfrac1x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\right]=-\dfrac1{x^2}\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}+\dfrac1x\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm dx}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cmathrm%20d%5E2y%7D%7B%5Cmathrm%20dx%5E2%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cmathrm%20d%7D%7B%5Cmathrm%20dx%7D%5Cleft%5B%5Cdfrac1x%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cmathrm%20dy%7D%7B%5Cmathrm%20dt%7D%5Cright%5D%3D-%5Cdfrac1%7Bx%5E2%7D%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cmathrm%20dy%7D%7B%5Cmathrm%20dt%7D%2B%5Cdfrac1x%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cmathrm%20df%7D%7B%5Cmathrm%20dx%7D)
and by the chain rule,

so that

Then the ODE in terms of
is

The characteristic equation

has two roots at
and
, so the characteristic solution is

Solving in terms of
gives

The easy part is isolating the absolute-value term:
5 + 7 |2<em>x</em> - 1| = -44
7 |2<em>x</em> - 1| = -49
|2<em>x</em> - 1| = -7
Remember that the absolute value function returns a positive number that you can think of as the "size" of that number, or the positive distance between that number and zero. If <em>x</em> is a positive number, its absolute value is the same number, |<em>x</em>| = <em>x</em>. But if <em>x</em> is negative, then the absolute value returns its negative, |<em>x</em>| = -<em>x</em>, which makes it positive. (If <em>x</em> = 0, you can use either result, since -0 is still 0.)
The important thing to take from this is that there are 2 cases to consider: is the expression in the absolute value positive, or is it negative?
• If 2<em>x</em> - 1 > 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 1| = 2<em>x</em> - 1. Then the equation becomes
2<em>x</em> - 1 = -7
2<em>x</em> = -6
<em>x</em> = -3
• If 2<em>x</em> - 1 < 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 1| = - (2<em>x</em> - 1) = 1 - 2<em>x</em>. Then
1 - 2<em>x</em> = -7
-2<em>x</em> = -8
<em>x</em> = 4
