ex. a

:?: What is the solution to the linear absolute value inequality? How do you express in interval notation?
\(| 4 + x | \leq 1 \)

\(-1 \leq 4 + x \leq 1\)

\(-1 - 4 \leq 4 - 4 + x \leq 1 - 4\)
:arrow:
\(-5 \leq x \leq -3\)

\([-5, -3]\)

ex. b

:?: What is the solution to the linear absolute value inequality? How do you express in interval notation?
\(|x - 1| > 1\)


\(x - 1 > 1\)

\(x - 1 + 1 > 1 + 1\)
:arrow:
\(x > 2\)



\(x - 1 < -1\)

\(x - 1 + 1 < - 1 + 1 \)
:arrow:
\(x < 0\)


\((-\infty, 0) \cup (2, \infty)\)
