To solve the inequality \(-9 + 4|x - 1| \leq 7\), we can start by isolating the absolute value term.

  1. Add 9 to both sides:

    \[ 4|x - 1| \leq 16 \]

  2. Divide both sides by 4:

    \[ |x - 1| \leq 4 \]

Now, we can interpret this absolute value inequality. The expression \(|x - 1| \leq 4\) translates to the compound inequality:

\[ -4 \leq x - 1 \leq 4 \]

  1. Next, we will solve for \(x\) by adding 1 to all parts of the inequality:

    \[ -4 + 1 \leq x - 1 + 1 \leq 4 + 1 \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ -3 \leq x \leq 5 \]

Thus, the solution to the inequality \(-9 + 4|x - 1| \leq 7\) is:

\[ -3 \leq x \leq 5 \]

The correct response from the options provided is:

−3 ≤ x ≤ 5
