Let's solve in ℝ: abs(2x -8) => 4 abs(A) => B is equivalent to: A => B or A <= -B Let's solve in ℝ: 2x -8 => 4 2x => 4 + 8 2x => 12 This expression can be factorized into: 2·(x -6) => 0 Let's solve: x -6 => 0 Solution found: x => 6 Let's solve in ℝ: 2x -8 <= -4 2x <= -4 + 8 2x <= 4 You can factorize this expression into: 2·(x -2) <= 0 Let's solve: x -2 <= 0 Solution found: x <= 2 ▶Solution: x ∈ (-∞, 2] ∪ [6, +∞)
