Example    Solve and graph 3 | 2 - x | ³ 5

Solution :   Isolating the absolute value as

3 | 2 - x | ³ 6

| 2 - x | ³ 2

Setting the contents of the absolute value portion for both + ve and - ve values as

( 2 - x ) ³ 2 and -( 2 - x ) ³ 2

( 2 - x ) ³ 2 and ( 2 - x ) £ -2

- x ³ 0 and - x £ - 4

x £ 0 and x ³ 4

Therefore, x £ 0 and x ³ 4 is the solution

Example     Solve and graph

Solution :   Setting the contents of the absolute value portion                     for both positive and negative values as

. . . is the solution

We summarize as

For example, | 7 . 5 | = 7 . 5 since 7 . 5 > 0

and | - 6 | = - (- 6) = 6 since - 6 < 0
