Question

Solve each equation.

Answer 1

$(1)\\\\|2x-4| =10\\\\\implies 2x-4 = 10~~ \text{or}~~ 2x -4 = -10\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{14}2 = 7 ~~\text{or}~~ x = -\dfrac{6}2=-3\\\\\\(2)\\\\-5|-4x+4|-7 = -67\\\\\implies -5|-4x+4| = -67 +7 = -60\\\\\implies |-4(x-1)| = \dfrac{-60}{-5}=12\\\\\implies 4|x-1| = 12\\\\\implies |x-1| =\dfrac{12}4 = 3\\\\\implies x-1 = -3~~\text{or}~~ x-1=3\\\\\implies x = -2~~ \text{or}~~ x = 4$
