The solution of the equation is x = -4/3.
<h3>What does it mean to solve an equation?</h3>
An equation represents equality of two or more mathematical expression.
Solutions to an equation are those values of the variables involved in that equation for which the equation is true.
WE have been given an equation as;
|x - 4| = 5x + 12
In an absolute value equation, we solve the original expression as our first equation. Our second one is that we multiply the right side by -1.
Case 1: original equation
|x - 4| = 5x + 12
x - 4 = 5x + 12
x - 5x = 12 + 4
-4x = 16
x = -4
Case 2: Opposite equation
|x - 4| = 5x + 12
x - 4 = - (5x + 12)
x - 4 = - 5x - 12
x + 5x = -12 + 4
6x = -8
x = -4/3
Now we have two solutions. We need to check for extraneous solutions because of all the manipulations;
Check:
|x - 4| = 5x + 12
use x = -4
|-4 - 4| = 5(-4) + 12
| -8 | = -20 + 12
8 = -8
Thus, it is Not a solution
Now, |x - 4| = 5x + 12
use x = -4/3
| -4/3 - 4| = 5( -4/3) + 12
|-16/3 | = -20/3 + 12
|-16/3 | = 16/3
16/3 = 16/3
Thus, it is the Solution.

27 - (x - 3) is an accurate model of this situation.
The answer is 100 sections. You get this by converting 2 meters which will be 200 cm then just divide 200 by 10 and you get 100! Hope this helps sorry if I get it wrong

◆ AREA RELATED TO CIRCLES ◆ ___________________________
As shown in the figure ,
Radius of circle = 5 cm
Side of square = 2 × (Radius of inscribed circle)
Side of square = 2 × 5 cm
Side of square = 10 cm = a

Now ,
Area of shaded region = (Area of square) - ( Area of inscribed circle )
Area of shaded region =
Area of shaded region =
Area of shaded region = 100 - 78.571
