Let's do this step by step:
Subtract both sides by 7
-2|x-4|= -10
Divide each side by -2
|x-4|= 5
Now since this is an absolute value equation, you will have two answers. This means you make the equation both positive and negative.
X-4= 5and -(x-4)= 5
Solve for x for both
X-4= 5: add four on both sides
X= 9
-x+ 4= 5: subtract 4 and divide by -1
X= -1
So your answer is: X= -1 , 9
Let's verify by substituting 1 to x.
2 - 8x = -6
2 - 8(1) = -6
2 - 8 = -6
-6 = -6
It is equal, therefore x = 1 is the solution.
