Ok... let's break it apart and put it back together.
There's an absolute value... "2x-4" is inside the absolute value. The absolute value of "2x-4" is equal to the value of 8... so find x.
There are TWO cases:
(2x-4)=8
OR
-(2x-4)=8
Now you should be able to solve it. If you can't... well, just ask me below. I can't do ALL the work, can I?
:P

|2x - 4| = 8 ⇔ 2x - 4 = -8 or 2x - 4 = 8 |add 4 to both sides
2x = -4 or 2x = 12 |divide both sides by 2
x = -2 or x = 6
2x = -4 or 2x = 12 |divide both sides by 2
x = -2 or x = 6
