    Since l x - 4 l means absolute value, so we need to make sure we do not include any negative signs.

    x + 4 = 7 would be the next step because it does not include any negative signs.

    |x - 4| + 1 = 8

    - 1 - 1

    |x - 4| = 7

    |x - 4| = ±7

    |x - 4| = 7 or |x - 4| = - 7

    x - 4 = 7 or x - 4 = - 7

    + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4

    x = 11 or x = - 3

    The answer would be equal to x - 4 = - 7.
