\"\"

\

The original function is \"\"

\

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

\
\

\"\"

\

First solve the case \"\" .

\

\"\"             (Subtract 2 form each side)

\

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

\

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

\

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

\

Next solve the case \"\" .

\

\"\"                (Subtract 2 form each side)

\

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

\

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

\

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

\

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

\

Draw a heavy line between  -8 and 4. Since -8 and 4 are not included in the solution set draw a circle at -8 and 4.

\

\"absolute

\"\"

\

The solution set is \"\"
