\"\"

\

The original function is \"\"

\

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

\
\

\"\"

\

First solve the case \"\".

\

\"\"             (Subtract 3 form each side)

\

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

\

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

\

\"\"

\

Next solve the case \"\".

\

\"\"          (Subtract 3 form each side)

\

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

\

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

\

\"\"

\

First, draw a number line.
