Follow each step carefully to understand the complete solution

$2|x - 4| = 10$

To solve the equation $2|x - 4| = 10$ , divide both sides by 2. This gives $|x - 4| = 5$ .

The absolute value equation $|x - 4| = 5$ implies that $x - 4 = 5$ or $x - 4 = -5$ . Solving these equations:

1. $x - 4 = 5$ gives $x = 9$ .

2. $x - 4 = -5$ gives $x = -1$ .

Thus, the solutions are $x = 9$ and $x = -1$ .
