You might change your mind on that one day.

I kinda agree but In 50-60 years I'd probably give anything to be at the age I am now

Often times, when you have a problem like this and you're not quite sure what to do, a sanity check will give you a quick clue. For instance,
y=-|x-4|. You know it's shifted, but maybe you're not sure. And you know it's some sort of V shape. So, let's figure out what happens when you plug in x= 0. You get -|-4|, so y = -4. That gives you a point. Then, you plug in x=4. That gives you y= 0. (You knew that was the place to give you the 0). Then you plug in x=8. That gives you -4 again.

So, you know that it's an upside-down V, and the cusp of the V is at (4,0). That means it was shifted 4 to the right.
