To solve the inequality \(-9 + 4|x - 1| \leq 7\), we can start by isolating the absolute value term.
-
Add 9 to both sides:
\[ 4|x - 1| \leq 16 \]
-
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:
\[ -4 \leq x - 1 \leq 4 \]
-
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
