The correct answer is not listed.  

5-abs%28x-4%29%22%22%3C=%22%22-3

let x-4 = X

5-abs%28X%29%22%22%3C=%22%22-3

-abs%28X%29%22%22%3C=%22%22-8

abs%28X%29%22%22%3E=%22%228

X%3C=-8ORX%3E=8

Replace X by x-4

x-4%3C=-8ORx-4%3E=8

x%3C=-4ORx%3E=12

That is the correct answer.  It's just not among those listed.
