Answer:

x = -4   or   x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the absolute value equation

|X| = k

where X is an expression in x, and k is a non-negative number,

solve the compound equation

X = k or X = -k

Here we have |2 - 4x| = 18

In this problem, the expression, X, is 2 - 4x, and the number, k, is 18.

We set the expression equal to the number, 2 - 4x = 18, and we set the expression equal to the negative of the number, 2 - 4x = -18. Then we solve both equations.

2 - 4x = 18  or  2 - 4x = -18

-4x = 16   or   -4x = -20

x = -4   or   x = 5

Answer:

x = -5 . x= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

because |4| = 4 and |-4| = 4

you can see that TWO inputs can get an output of (lets say) 4

The absolute value function can be seen as a function that ignores negative signs

so to get an OUTPUT of "18" using the absolute value function

there are really two ways of getting there

"2-4x = 18"  AND "2-4x = -18"

if you solve both of those you will find that -5 and 4 will

produce the 18 and -18
