Answer:

( - ∞, 1] U [3, ∞)

In other words,


x\le1,x\ge3

Explanation:

To solve the system given, we first get rid of the absolute value sign and decompose the inequality into two


\begin{gathered} |4x-8|\ge4 \\ \rightarrow4x-8\ge4 \\ 4x-8\le-4 \end{gathered}

Let is solve the two inequalities


\begin{gathered} 4x-8\ge4 \\ \end{gathered}

add 8 to both sides to get


4x\ge12

finally, divide both sides by 4 to get


\boxed{x\ge3}

Now for the second inequality


4x-8\le-4

adding 8 to both sides gives


4x\le4

Finally, dividing both sides by 4 gives


\boxed{x\le1.}

Hence, the solution to the system is


x\le1,x\ge3

which can be written as


\mleft(-\infty,1\rbrack\cup\lbrack3,\infty\mright)
