The starting equation is | x - 2 | - 3 <= 1. It is equivalent to | x - 2 | <= 1 + 3 = 4. The last equation describes those values / (points in the number line) that are remoted not far then 4 units from 2. So the answer is 2 - 4 <= x <= 2 + 4, or -2 <= x <= 6. In the interval form, the solution set is this segment on the number line [-2,6]. ANSWER
