i couldn't figure out which way the graph was trying to show.

i'll give you the two possibilities that i know of.

you could get:

x >= -6 and x <= 6

or you could get:

x <= -6 or x >= 6

let's assume x >= -6 and x <= 6

in absolute value form, this would be shown as:

|x| <= 6

if x is greater than or equal to 0, this becomes:

x <= 6

if x is smaller than 0, this becomes:

x >= -6

you get:

|x| <= 6 is equivalent to x >= -6 and x <= 6

x >= -6 and x <= 6 can also be shown as -6 <= x <= 6

now let's look at the other possibility.

the graph could be saying:

x <= -6 or x >= 6

in absolute value terms, the equation should show as:

|x| >= 6

if x is greater than or equal to 0, the equation becomes:

x >= 6

if x is smaller than 0, the equation becomes:

x <= - 6

you get:

|x| >= 6 is equivalent to x >= 6 or x <= -6
