\"\"\"\"\"\"

\

The original function is \"\"

\

Write \"\" as \"\" or \"\" \"\"

\

First solve the case \"\" .

\

\"\"                       (Subtract 1.5 from  each side)

\

\"\"                            (Additive inerse property: \"\")

\

\"\"                                 (Additive identity property: \"\" )

\

\"\"                                     (Subtract: \"\")

\

\"\"                                    (Multiply with opositive sign and flip the symbol) \ \ \"\"

\

Next solve the casev .  \"\"

\

\"\" \"\"                        (Subtract 7 from  each side)

\

\"\" \"\"                             (Additive inerse property: \"\")

\

\"\" \"\"                                  (Additive identity property:  \"\" )

\

\"\" \"\"                                      (Subtract: \"\")

\

\"\"                                    (Multiply with opositive sign and flip the symbol)\"\"

\

 

\

To graph the solutions set, first draw a number line.

\

Draw a heavy line between-1.5 and 4.5

\

Since -1.5 and 4.5 are not included in the solution set, draw a solid at -1.5 and 4.5.

\

\"absolute

\

\"\"

\

The solution set is \"\".
