:
greater or equal is written: ">="; You can use upper case \ for absolutes
In your example
|9x| >= 90
Remove absolute and solve two equation
:
9x >= 90
Divide both sides by 9
x >= 10
and
9x <= -90; negative reverses the inequality sign
Divide both side 9
x <= -10
;
:
You have two solutions
x >= 10
x <=-10
