1(x) for unicycle 2(x) for tandems 3(x) for tricycles 2(32) for regular bikes if im thinking wheels which is 6(x) + 64 = 115, subtracting 64 wheels from both sides leaving 51. 6(x) = 51, dividing both sides by 6 I have 8 3/6 or 8 1/2 1(8) + 2(8) + 3(8) + 64 = 112???? 1(9) + 2(9) + 3(9) + 64 =...

Those symbols mean absolute value. Absolute value is always positive. Therefore absolute value of 5 = 5 and absolute value of -5 = 5
