Math Problem Statement
3|x| ≤ |x-1| +5
Solution
The given inequality is:
To solve this, we need to consider the behavior of the absolute value function. Absolute value functions have different cases based on the sign of the expression inside them, so we will break the problem down into intervals and solve for each case.
Case 1:
- In this case, both and .
Substituting these into the inequality: Simplifying: Subtract from both sides: Divide by 2:
In this case, and ( x
