Answer:

- [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] ≤ x ≤ - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

inequalities of the type | x | ≤ a , have solutions of the form

- a ≤ x ≤ a , then

4 | 2x + 5 | - 7 ≤ 9 ( add 7 to both sides )

4  | 2x + 5 | ≤ 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

| 2x + 5 | ≤ 4 , so

- 4 ≤ 2x + 5 ≤ 4 ( subtract 5 from each interval )

- 9 ≤ 2x ≤ - 1 ( divide each interval by 2 )

- [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] ≤ x ≤ - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
