Answer:

f ∈ {-17/6, 5/2}

Explanation:

You want the solution to the equation |3f +0.5| -1 = 7.

Solution

Add 1 to get ...

|3f +0.5| = 8

This resolves to two equations:

3f +0.5 = -8

3f = -17/2 . . . . . . . subtract 1/2

f = -17/6 . . . . . . . divide by 3

and ...

3f +0.5 = 8

3f = 15/2 . . . . . . . subtract 1/2

f = 5/2 . . . . . . . . divide by 3

The solutions are f = -17/6 and f = 5/2.
