\

The original function is $\"\"$

\

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

\

First solve the case $\"\"$ .

\

Apply subtraction property of equality: if a = b, then a - c = b - c.

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract 6 from each side)

\

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

\

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

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by negative 2)

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms) \ \

\

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

\

$\"\"$

\

Next solve the case $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract 6 from each side)

\

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

\

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

\

$\"\"$ (subtract: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by negative 2)

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms) \ \

\

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

\

First, draw a number line.

\

To graph the solutions set, mark the numbers 0 and 6 on number line.

\

$\"\"$ $\"\"$

\

The solution set is $\"\"$ .
