Start with the given inequality


Add 3 to both sides.


Divide both sides by 5



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

and Break up the absolute value inequality using the given rule


Combine the two inequalities to get a compound inequality



Subtract 1 from all sides


Divide all sides by 2 to isolate b



----------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is





So the answer in interval notation is []


and the answer in set-builder notation is


Here's the graph of the solution set

Graph of the solution set

Note:
There is a closed circle at which means that we're including this value in the solution set
Also, there is a closed circle at which means that we're including this value in the solution set.
