\"\"

\

The original function is \"\"

\

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

\

First solve the case \"\" .

\

Apply addition proparty of equality:If a = b then \"\"

\

\"\"             (Add 5 to each side)

\

\"\"                         (Additive inevrse property: \"\")

\

\"\"                             (Add: \"\" )\"\"

\

Next solve the case \"\".

\

Apply addition property of equality:If a = b then \"\"

\

\"\"          (Add 5 to each side)

\

\"\"                      (Additive inverse property: \"\")

\

\"\"                            (Add: \"\" )\"\"

\

First, draw a number line.

\

To graph the solutions set, mark the numbers –13 and 7 on number line.

\

\"absolute\"\"

\

The solution set is \"\".
