\

The equation is $\"\"$ .

\

Write two cases:

\

Case-1: The expression inside the absolute value symbols is positive ( $\"\"$ ).

\

$\"\"$ .

\

Case-2: The expression inside the absolute value symbols is negative ( $\"\"$ ).

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply each side by negative one and flip the symbol)

\

$\"\"$ (Product of two sames signs is positive)

\

$\"\"$ (Product of two different signs is negative) $\"\"$

\

Solve the equation for Case-1.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract 4 from each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Apply Additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Apply Additive identity property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ )

\

The solution set is $\"\"$ . $\"\"$
