Math Problem Statement
|x - 3| ≤ 12
Solution
The inequality shown in the image is:
To solve this absolute value inequality, we use the fact that:
Here, and . Applying this to the inequality, we have:
Now, solve for by adding 3 to all parts of the inequality:
Thus, the solution to the inequality is:
