Sure,
Number line is from -5 to 5. Numbers -5 <through> 3 are shaded.
Which of the following inequalities is an algebraic expression for the shaded part of the number line above?

(A) |x| <= 3
(B) |x| <= 5
(C) |x - 2| <= 3
(D) |x - 1| <= 4
(E) |x +1| <= 4
[spoiler]OA E. I am stuck at B and E (eliminated other using x=-5). [/spoiler]
