Solution:

Given the expression below

Applying the absolute rule, which is

$if\text{ \mid u\mid=a, a}>0,\text{ then u}=-a\text{ or u}=a$

Applying the rule above, the expression becomes

$\begin{gathered} 4|8x-2|=8 \\ Divide\text{ both sides by 4} \\ |8x-2|=2 \\ -2=8x-2=2 \end{gathered}$

Hence, a new equivalent equation that is easier to solve is
