(4abs + 2absx) = abs(5x + -2)

Reorder the terms:
4abs + 2absx = abs(-2 + 5x)
4abs + 2absx = (-2 * abs + 5x * abs)
4abs + 2absx = (-2abs + 5absx)

Solving
4abs + 2absx = -2abs + 5absx

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2abs' to each side of the equation.
4abs + 2abs + 2absx = -2abs + 2abs + 5absx

Combine like terms: 4abs + 2abs = 6abs
6abs + 2absx = -2abs + 2abs + 5absx

Combine like terms: -2abs + 2abs = 0
6abs + 2absx = 0 + 5absx
6abs + 2absx = 5absx

Add '-5absx' to each side of the equation.
6abs + 2absx + -5absx = 5absx + -5absx

Combine like terms: 2absx + -5absx = -3absx
6abs + -3absx = 5absx + -5absx

Combine like terms: 5absx + -5absx = 0
6abs + -3absx = 0
