Is the answer for this 6/5? or am I missing something?

yes, you're missing the simple definition of absolute value.
| a | ≥ 0 for all values of a, or of 5x - 6. since it can't be negative, there's no solution.

Let, |5x - 6| = y ;
y = - (5x - 6) ....................(1)
y = (5x - 6) .......................(2)
From (1),
x = - (y + 6)/5 .
From (2),
x = (y + 6)/5 .
since y < 0 , let y = - 1, then
x = - 1 and 1 ;
let y = - 2, then
x = - 4/5 and 4/5 ;
let y = - 6, then
x = 0.
Let, x = 7/5, then this value does not satisfy one of two equations namely (1) and (2).
Let, x = - 7/5, then this value does not satisfy either of those two equations.
Hence, - 6/5 < x < 6/5 .

No solution since absolute value of 5x - 6 can never be negative for any value of x. Let's take x = 0, then 5x - 6 = 5(0) - 6 = -6. Abs(-6) = 6 which is not less than zero. Try it with any value of x, that inequality will never be fulfilled.
