4-3=1 and 5-4 = 1 so it's 4

Kellen Murphy · Answer 2

The bars mean absolute value so they just turn everything positive. So you have |2x|=|8| once you move everything to its respective side, then you divide by 2 and get |x|=|4|. Now you can drop the absolute value bars because everything is already positive. So your final answer is x=4.
