\(\left|x-5\right|+11\le \:18\)

\(\left|x-5\right|+11-11\le \:18-11\)

\(\left|x-5\right|\le \:7\)

 

\(\mathrm{Apply\:absolute\:rule}:\quad \mathrm{If}\:|u|\:\le \:a,\:a\:>\:0\:\mathrm{then}\:-a\:\le \:u\:\le \:a\)

 

\(-7\le \:x-5\le \:7\)

 

\(x\ge \:-2\quad \mathrm{and}\quad \:x\le \:12\)

 

\(== -2\le \:x\le \:12\)
