Answer:


\Huge\boxed{\mathsf{\longrightarrow X=1 \quad or \quad X=5}}}}

Explanation:

Isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, divide by 2 from both sides.

2|x-3|/2=4/2

Solve.

4/2=2

|x-3|=2

x-3=-2 and x-3=2

x-3=-2

Add 3 from both sides.

x-3+3=-2+3

Solve.

-2+3=-1

X=1

x-3=2

Add 3 from both sides.

x-3+3=2+3

Solve.

Add the numbers from left to right.

2+3=5

X=5


\Large\boxed{\mathsf{X=1 \quad or \quad X=5}}}

As a result, the final answer is x=1 and x=5.
