Transformation involves changing the form of a function.
The absolute value function is
The parent function of the absolute value function is:
When the function is translated 2 units to the right, the new function is:
From the function to be wider than the absolute function, the function must be stretched by a factor less than 1.
The possible function from the list of given options is

Answer:
x ≈ 0.309906932381 or 4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are no algebraic methods of solving a mixed exponential and polynomial equation. The value of x can be found by guessing, or by other means such as trial and error or graphing.
Attached is a graph showing two solutions. x = 4 is the integer solution (2^4 = 4·4). The irrational solution is approximately x ≈ 0.309906932381. That precision is obtained by Newton's method iteration, easily done by a graphing calculator.
