4-7|x/2-3| >= -3
--------------
Subtract 4
-7|x/2-3| >= -7
Divide by -7, note change from > to <
|x/2-3| <= 1
|x - 6| <= 2
---------------
x - 6 <= 2
x <= 8
-------------
-(x - 6) <= 2
x - 6 >= -2
x >= 4
----------
It's not just the point [4,8] it's all values between 4 and 8 inclusive.
[4,8] is another way of saying 4 <= x <= 8
