    x=19 and x = - 13

    Step-by-step explanation:

    5|x - 3| - 13 = 67

    We need to isolate the absolute value

    Add 13 to each side

    5|x - 3| - 13+13 = 67+13

    5|x - 3| = 80

    Divide each side by 5

    5|x - 3|/5 = 80/5

    |x - 3| = 16

    To remove the absolute value. we set the term inside the absolute value equal to the term both the positive and negative of the right side

    x-3 = 16 and x-3 = - 16

    Add 3 to each side

    x-3+3 = 16+3 x-3+3 = - 16+3

    x=19 and x = - 13
