I get (x-4)>0 because absolute(x-4) is always positive or equal to zero.

thus, (x-4) = (4-x)
which gives me x=4
Since we concluded that (x-4) must be > 0,
than shouldn't x>4 be the solution?

p.s. thanks for sharing the link on abs val equations....i found it some what helpful...altho i have to admit it did raise some new Qs in my head.

thanx guys!
