To solve absolute value inequalities:
1. Isolate the absolute value term |x| by itself on one side of the inequality
2. Replace the absolute value term with an "or" statement connecting the positive and negative versions of x
3. Solve the resulting inequality by finding all values of x that satisfy both the positive and negative versions

1. Get the ______________________________________________________________________________. 2. Turn it into a _____________________________________ using ____________ or ____________. 3. Solve.
Example 2. Solve and graph.
a. | x 5 | 7
b. | - 4x 5 | + 3 < 9
c. 3 | 5m 6 | - 8 13
The absolute deviation of two numbers is their ___________________________________________________.
Example 3. Write as an inequality. Then solve and graph.
a. The absolute deviation of x from 6 is less than or equal to 4.
b. Three more than the absolute deviation of -4x from 7 is greater than 10.
