Same as |1-x/4|>=3
Allow for the expression in the absolute value function be positive and negative, and analyze each condition separately.
If , then .
Solve for x in .

Solve the inequality: |3 - 3x/4| >= 9
--------
3-(3/4)x >= 9 or 3-(3/4)x <= -9
-----
-(3/4)x >= 6 or -(3/4)x <= -12
----
x <= -8 or x >= 16

|3 - 3x/4| >= 9
----------------
3 - 3x/4 >= 9
1 - x/4 >= 3
-x/4 >= 2
-x >= 8
x <= -8
-----------
-(3 - 3x/4) >= 9
3 - 3x/4 <= -9
1 - x/4 <= -3
-x/4 <= - 4
-x <= -16
x >= 16
