To say that [x+7]<= 5 is the same as saying x is in the closed interval [A,B]
\n" ); document.write( "A where is:
\n" ); document.write( "and where B is:
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "|x+7| <= 5 means -5<= x+7 <=5
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "Subtracting 7 along the line you get:
\n" ); document.write( "-12 <= x <= -2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "So, A = -12 and B = -2
