Math Problem Statement
Solution
The inequality shown in the image is:
To solve this absolute value inequality, we break it into two cases:
Case 1: Positive Case
Subtracting 18 from both sides: Multiplying both sides by 2:
Case 2: Negative Case
This simplifies to: Adding 18 to both sides: Multiplying both sides by -2 (and reversing the inequality):
Final Solution
The solution to the inequality is:
This can be written as the union of two intervals:
