Answer: IX - 4I ≤ 4

Explanation:

In the numer line we can see that our possible values of x are in the range:

0 ≤ x ≤ 8

And we want to find an absolute value equation such that this set is the set of possible solutions.

An example can be:

IX - 4I ≤ 4

To construct this, we first find the midpoint M of our set, in this case is 4.

Then we write:

Ix - MI ≤ IMI

Notice that i am using the minor and equal sign, this is because the black dots means that the values x = 0 and x = 8 are included, if the dots were empty dots, it would be an open set and we should use the < > signs.
