how would you solve this problem
\n" ); document.write( "|2x - 1| => 1/8
\n" ); document.write( "solve for two conditions:
\n" ); document.write( "2x-1≥1/8
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 8
\n" ); document.write( "16x-8≥1
\n" ); document.write( "16x≥9
\n" ); document.write( "x≥9/16
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "-2x+1≥1/8
\n" ); document.write( "-16x+8≥1
\n" ); document.write( "-16x≥-7
\n" ); document.write( "x≤7/16
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "number line
\n" ); document.write( "<====7/16]..........[9/16====>
\n" ); document.write( "solution:
\n" ); document.write( "(-∞,7/16] U [9/16,∞) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
