2|5x-5| + 4 = 20
2|5x-5| = 20-4 = 16
|5x-5| = 8
5x-5 = 8
5x = 13
X = 13/5

-(5x-5) = 8
-5x + 5 = 8
-5x = 3
X = -3/5

2|5x - 5| + 4 = 20
There are two cases here, where the absolute value term is + or -

Case 1:
10x - 10 + 4 = 20
10x - 6 = 20
10x = 26
x = 2.6

Case 2:
-10x + 10 + 4 = 20
-10x + 14 = 20
-10x = 6
x = -0.6
