#-4 <= x <= 20#

#-6 <= 4 - 1/2 x <= 6#

Subtract four

#-10 <= - 1/2 x <= 2#

Multiply by #-2#

#20 >= x >= -4#

Solution: #-4<=x<=20#. In interval notation: #[-4 , 20]#

# | 4-1/2x| <= 6 or 4-1/2x <= 6 or -1/2x <= 6-4 or -x <= 2*2 or x >= -4 # OR

# | 4-1/2x| <= 6 or 4-1/2x >= -6 or -1/2x >= -6-4 or -x >= -10*2 or x <= 20 #

Solution: #-4<=x<=20#. In interval notation: #[-4 , 20]# [Ans]
