Start with the given inequality

Break up the absolute value (remember, if you have , then or )

or Break up the absolute value inequality using the given rule

Now lets focus on the first inequality

Start with the given inequality

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

Divide

Now lets focus on the second inequality

Start with the given inequality

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

Divide

Answer:

So our answer is

or

which looks like this in interval notation

if you wanted to graph the solution set, you would get

Graph of the solution set in blue and the excluded values represented by open circles
