To solve the exercise you can use this property of the absolute value:


|x|\le a=-a\le x\le a

So, in this case, you have


|6+9x|\le24=-24\le6+9x\le24

Then


\begin{gathered} -24\le6+9x \\ \text{ and} \\ 6+9x\le24 \end{gathered}

To solve the first part you can proceed like this:


\begin{gathered} -24\le6+9x \\ \text{ Subtract 6 from both sides of the inequality} \\ -24-6\le6+9x-6 \\ -30\le9x \\ \text{ Divide by 9 from both sides of the inequality} \\ -(30)/(9)\le(9x)/(9) \\ -(30)/(9)\le x \\ \text{ Simplify} \\ -(3\cdot10)/(3\cdot3)\le x \\ -(10)/(3)\le x \end{gathered}

To solve the second part you can proceed like this:


\begin{gathered} 6+9x\le24 \\ \text{ Subtract 6 from both sides of the inequality} \\ 6+9x-6\le24-6 \\ 9x\le18 \\ \text{ Divide by 9 from both sides of the inequality} \\ (9x)/(9)\le(18)/(9) \\ x\le2 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the solution to the inequality will be


-(10)/(3)\le x\le2

Graphically
