4|x-8|-8+5|x-8|=19
Add 5|x-8| to both sides.
9|x-8|-8=19
Combine 4|x-8| and 5|x-8| to get 9|x-8|.
9|x-8|=19+8
Add 8 to both sides.
9|x-8|=27
Add 19 and 8 to get 27.
|x-8|=\frac{27}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
|x-8|=3
Divide 27 by 9 to get 3.
x-8=3 x-8=-3
Use the definition of absolute value.
x=11 x=5
Add 8 to both sides of the equation.
