 ǀu + 8ǀ ≥ 3
 ***
 Given problem indicates (u+8) is equal to or more than 3 units from the origin.
 Problem is to solve for u:
 There are 2 cases:
 Case 1:
 u+8≥3
 u≥-5
 ..
 Case 2
 -(u+8)≥3
 u+8≤-3
 u≤-11
 number line:
 <===-11......-5===>
 (-∞,-11] U [-5,∞)
 When u≥-11 or u≤-5, (u+8) is equal to or more than 3 units from the origin.
