The equation in the image is:

$|3x - 4| - 4 = 2x$

Let's solve this equation for all values of $x$.

Step 1: Isolate the absolute value

$|3x - 4| = 2x + 4$

Step 2: Handle the absolute value

Since the absolute value has two cases, we need to solve for both possibilities:

Case 1: $3x - 4 = 2x + 4$

$3x - 2x = 4 + 4$ $x = 8$

Case 2: $3x - 4 = -(2x + 4)$

$3x - 4 = -2x - 4$ $3x + 2x = -4 + 4$ $5x = 0$ $x = 0$

Step 3: Verify solutions

We need to check if both solutions satisfy the original equation.

• For $x = 8$: $|3(8) - 4| - 4 = 2(8)$ $|24 - 4| - 4 = 16$ $|20| - 4 = 16$ \quad \text{(True)}$$
• For $x = 0$: $|3(0) - 4| - 4 = 2(0)$ $|-4| - 4 = 0$ \quad \text{(True)}$$

Both solutions $x = 8$ and $x = 0$ are valid.

Final Answer:

The solutions are $x = 8$ and $x = 0$.
