Answer:

x = -2.25 or x = 3.25

Explanation:

1st add 10 to both sides: -|4x-2|-10+10=-21+10

2nd simplify: -|4x-2|=-11

3rd divide both sides by -1: -|4x-2|/-1 = -11/-1

4th simplify: |4x-2|=11

5th Apply absolute value rule: 4x-2=-11 or 4x-2=11

6th combine solutions: x = -2.25 or x = 3.25

hope i helped :)
