Answer 2

|x-1|=5

Explanation:

From the diagram you can see that the solutions of the equation are
`x_1=-4` and
`x_2=6`

1. Find the midpoint between -4 and 6:

1/2(-4+6)=1

2. Find the distance between points x=1 and x=6 (or between x=1 and x=-4):

d=6-1=5

3. Writhe an absolute value equation (the distanse from endpoints
`x_1=-4` and
`x_2=6` to the midpoint x=1 is equal 5):

|x-1|=5
