You can put this solution on YOUR website!

first graph abs%28x%29 and x-1 so that you take several values for x and find abs%28x%29 and x-1
make a table:

x| abs%28x%29
0| 0
1| 1
-1| 1
2| 2
-2| 2..........graph it
x| x-1
0| -1
1| 0..........graph it
+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2Cabs%28x%29%2C+x-1%29+
as you can see from a graph,abs%28x%29%3Ex-1 for all real numbers x from -infinity to infinity
solution set:

(-infinity,infinity)
