You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You did not say what you want with the statement.

Try this way:
y%3Cabs%28x-1%29-7
This has one critical x value, x=1.

x-1 POSITIVE OR 0,
y%3Cx-1-7
y%3Cx-8

x-1 NEGATIVE,
y%3C-%28x-1%29-7
y%3C-x%2B1-7
y%3C-x-6

You would indicate on the graph where the two regions are. Be reminded, you put together the region to the left of x=1 and to the right of and including x=1.

The red shaded region shows the solution area
