To solve this inequality, we need to consider two cases: when the quantity inside the absolute value is positive and when it is negative.
Case 1: when 2x - 7 is non-negative (greater than or equal to 0)
2x - 7 ≥ 02x ≥ 7x ≥ 7/2
Now, substitute this value of x back into the inequality to check if it satisfies the original inequality:
|2(7/2) - 7| ≤ 2|7 - 7| ≤ 2|0| ≤ 20 ≤ 2
This is true, so x ≥ 7/2 is a solution for this case.
Case 2: when 2x - 7 is negative
2x - 7 < 02x < 7x < 7/2
Since this is always true, any x values less than 7/2 also satisfy the inequality.
Therefore, the solution to the inequality |2x-7| ≤ 2 is x ≤ 7/2 or x ≥ 7/2.
To solve this inequality, we need to consider two cases: when the quantity inside the absolute value is positive and when it is negative.
Case 1: when 2x - 7 is non-negative (greater than or equal to 0)
2x - 7 ≥ 0
2x ≥ 7
x ≥ 7/2
Now, substitute this value of x back into the inequality to check if it satisfies the original inequality:
|2(7/2) - 7| ≤ 2
|7 - 7| ≤ 2
|0| ≤ 2
0 ≤ 2
This is true, so x ≥ 7/2 is a solution for this case.
Case 2: when 2x - 7 is negative
2x - 7 < 0
2x < 7
x < 7/2
Now, substitute this value of x back into the inequality to check if it satisfies the original inequality:
|2(7/2) - 7| ≤ 2
|7 - 7| ≤ 2
|0| ≤ 2
0 ≤ 2
Since this is always true, any x values less than 7/2 also satisfy the inequality.
Therefore, the solution to the inequality |2x-7| ≤ 2 is x ≤ 7/2 or x ≥ 7/2.
