What is the absolute value of four times the quantity of p minus 2 is less than or equal to 4.
:
Write an equation for exactly what it says
|4p - 2| <= 4
Two solutions
4p - 2 <= 4
add 2 to both sides
4p <= 4 + 2
4p <= 6
divide both sides
p <= 6/4 = 3/2
and we reverse the inequality sign change the it to -4
4p - 2 >= -4
4p >= -4 + 2
4p >= -2
p >= -2/4
