Start with the given equation

Break up the absolute value (remember, if you have , then or )

or Set the expression equal to the original value 0 and it's opposite 0

Now lets focus on the first equation

Subtract 10 from both sides

Combine like terms on the right side

Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x

Reduce

Now lets focus on the second equation

Subtract 10 from both sides

Combine like terms on the right side

Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x

Reduce

So the solution is:
