You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"10-abs%282x-1%29=4\"$ ....here, you are asked to find a value of $\"x\"$ that makes $\"10-abs%282x-1%29\"$ equal to $\"4\"$ , or the intersection points of the $\"10-abs%282x-1%29\"$ and horizontal line $\"y=4\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"10-4=abs%282x-1%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"6=abs%282x-1%29\"$ ..........since $\"abs%282x-1%29=sqrt%28%282x-1%29%5E2%29\"$ => we will have $\"%282x-1%29\"$ and $\"-%282x-1%29\"$ }\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solutions:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"6=2x-1\"$ => $\"6%2B1=2x\"$ => $\"7=2x\"$ => $\"highlight%28x=7%2F2%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"6=-%282x-1%29\"$ => $\"6=-2x%2B1\"$ => $\"2x=1-6\"$ => $\"2x=-5\"$ => $\"highlight%28x=-5%2F2%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
