Answer: it is both -1 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

|x - 4| = 5

break down the problem into two equations;

x - 4 = 5
-(x - 4) = 5

solve the first equation;

x - 4 = 5
x = 5 + 4
x = 9

solve the second equation;

-(x - 4) = 5
-x + 4 = 5
4 - x = 5
-x = 5 - 4
-x = 1
x = -1

solutions are:

x = -1, 9
