• min value should be zero
  x=0 or x=13/4

• why we shud take X=4?

• According to me, when x=-1 then
  (-5+1)+(2+1)+(6+1)+10-(-1)
  =>-4+3+7+11
  =>21-4
  =>17

• 19
  | a | + | b | + | c | + | d | ≥ | a + b + c + d |and
  | a | = | −a |

• As we know that |-x|=x
  so,if x=4
  then,|-5-4|+|2-4|+|6-4|+|10-4|=|-9|+|-2|+|2|+|6|
  =9+2+2+6=19

• In this problem they asked min. value in function so,here,x=2
  because all values of x are greater than 2
  put x=2,then ====7+4+8=19
