Start with the given inequality

Add 3 to both sides.

Divide both sides by 5

Break up the absolute value (remember, if you have , then and )

and Break up the absolute value inequality using the given rule

Combine the two inequalities to get a compound inequality

Subtract 1 from all sides

Divide all sides by 2 to isolate b

Answer:

So our answer is

So the answer in interval notation is []

and the answer in set-builder notation is

Here's the graph of the solution set

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