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

\

The original function is \"\"

\

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

\

First solve the case \"\" .

\

\"\"                   (Subtract 3 from each side)

\

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

\

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

\

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

\

 Apply Division proparty of inequality: If a = b than \"\"

\

\"\"                                 (Divide each side by 4)

\

\"\"                                     (Cancel commen terms)

\

\"\"                                    (Divide: \"\")\"\"

\

Next solve the casev .  \"\"

\

\"\"                (Subtract 3 from each side)

\

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

\

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

\

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

\

\"\"

\

Apply Division proparty of inequality: If a = b than \"\"

\

\"\"                             (Divide each side by 4)

\

\"\"                                  (Cancel commen terms)

\

\"\"                                 (Divide: \"\")\"\"

\

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

\

Draw a heavy line between -5.25 and 3.75 Since-5.25 and 3.75are not included in the solution set draw a circle at-5.25 and 3.75.

\

\"absolute

\

\"\"

\

The solution set is \"\".
