You can put this solution on YOUR website!
abs%28x-1%29%3C4
means x-1%3C4 and -%28x-1%29%3C4
solutions:
if x-1%3C4, then x%3C5
if -%28x-1%29%3C4, then -x%2B1%3C4...-x%3C3....x%3E-3
so, -3%3Cx%3C5

+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-10%2C10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+abs%28x-1%29-4%29+
so, possible integer solutions are x=-2, x=-1, x=0, x=1, x=2, x=3 and x=4
