a) \(A=x^2-4x+4+4x-x^2-2x+4=-2x+8\)
b) \(\left|x-1\right|=2\Leftrightarrow\)\(\left[{}\begin{matrix}x-1=2\\x-1=-2\end{matrix}\right.\)\(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=3\\x=-1\end{matrix}\right.\)
\(A=-2x+8=\)\(\left[{}\begin{matrix}-2.3+8=2\\-2.\left(-1\right)+8=10\end{matrix}\right.\)
c) \(A=-2x+8=24\Leftrightarrow-2x=16\Leftrightarrow x=-8\)
