Q. Solve for bb.\newline6b66|b| \leq 6\newlineWrite a compound inequality like 1<x<31 < x < 3 or like x<1x < 1 or x>3x > 3. Use integers, proper fractions, or improper fractions in simplest form.\newline__\_\_
  1. Divide by 66: We have the inequality:\newline6b66|b| \leq 6\newlineFirst, we divide both sides of the inequality by 66 to isolate the absolute value of bb.\newlineb66|b| \leq \frac{6}{6}\newlineb1|b| \leq 1
  2. Interpret absolute value: Now we interpret the absolute value inequality.\newlineThe inequality b1|b| \leq 1 means that bb is within 11 unit of 00 on the number line.\newlineThis can be written as two separate inequalities:\newlineb1-b \leq 1 and b1b \leq 1
  3. Rewrite b1-b \leq 1: The inequality b1-b \leq 1 can be rewritten by multiplying both sides by 1-1, remembering to reverse the inequality sign when multiplying by a negative number.\newlineb1b \geq -1
  4. Combine inequalities: Combining the two inequalities, we get the compound inequality:\newline1b1-1 \leq b \leq 1\newlineThis is the final answer, which represents all values of bb that are within 11 unit of 00 on the number line.
