<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

{x | x = 0.5 or x = 4.5}

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u>Before we begin, remember that:</u>

The modulus gives the positive value of what's inside it.

<u>This means that:</u>

|a| = |-a| = a

<u>Now, for the given, we have:</u>

|2x-5| = 4

<u>From the above rule, we can deduce that:</u>

<u>either:</u>

2x - 5 = 4

2x = 4 + 5 = 9

x = 4.5 ............> first solution

<u>Or:</u>

2x - 5 = -4

2x = 5-4 = 1

x = 0.5 ..........> second solution

<u>Now, we check:</u>

<u>at x = 4.5</u>: |2(4.5)-5| = |9-5| = |4| = 4 ..........> first solution verified

<u>at x = 0.5</u>: |2(0.5)-5| = |1-5| = |-4| = 4 .........> second solution verified

Hope this helps :)
