To solve the equation \(|(|2x-4|-5)|=9\), we will break it down step-by-step.
Step 1: Analyze the Outer Absolute Value
The equation \(|A| = 9\) implies that \(A = 9\) or \(A = -9\). Here, \(A = |2x-4|-5\).
Step 2: Set Up Two Cases
So, we have two cases to consider:
- \(|2x - 4| - 5 = 9\)
- \(|2x - 4| - 5 = -9\)
Case 1: \(|2x - 4| - 5 = 9\)
Add 5 to both sides:
\[ |2x - 4| = 14 \]
This leads to two subcases:
- \(2x - 4 = 14\)
- \(2x - 4 = -14\)
Subcase 1.1:
\[ 2x - 4 = 14 \\ 2x = 18 \\ x = 9 \]
Subcase 1.2:
\[ 2x - 4 = -14 \\ 2x = -10 \\ x = -5 \]
Case 2: \(|2x - 4| - 5 = -9\)
Add 5 to both sides:
\[ |2x - 4| = -4 \]
Since the absolute value cannot be negative, there are no solutions from this case.
Step 3: Final Solutions
The solutions from Case 1 are \(x = 9\) and \(x = -5\).
Thus, the solutions to the equation \(|(|2x-4|-5)|=9\) are:
\[ \boxed{9 \text{ and } -5} \]
