Answer:

x1 = -4

x2 = 6

Explanation:

The 2 vertical lines are "absolute values" meaning whatever they contain has to be positive

For Example

|-3| = 3

So we can ignore if the answer we get is positive or negative because it will forced to be a positive

|3 x 4| = 12

|x - 2| = 4

x1 = 6

x2 = -2
