You can put this solution on YOUR website!
abs%28x%29%3C=14 Start with the given inequality


Break up the absolute value (remember, if you have abs%28x%29%3C=+a, then x+%3E=+-a and x+%3C=+a)

x+%3E=+-14 and x+%3C=+14 Break up the absolute value inequality using the given rule


-14+%3C=+x+%3C=+14 Combine the two inequalities to get a compound inequality



----------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is

-14+%3C=+x+%3C=+14


So the answer in interval notation is []


Also, the answer in set-builder notation is


Here's the graph of the solution set on a number line:

Graph of the solution set

Note:
There is a closed circle at x=-14 which means that we're including this value in the solution set
Also, there is a closed circle at x=14 which means that we're including this value in the solution set.
