Question 33565: Find the solution set.
|2x-2| is < or = to 2

Answer by longjonsilver(2297)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = |2x-2| means 2 straight lines: 2x-2 and -(2x-2). They form a V-shaped graph, as shown:



The question is asking "for what values of x is this graph less than or equal to y=2. Lets look at both these graphs:



Looking at the graph, the V-shape is less than or equal to the y=2 horizontal line between x=0 and x=2. These are the answers. Lets now try to get these 2 answers through algebra:






and
note the < has changed to a >



So, and
or which matches the findings from the graph
