Answer

$d\leq -3$ or $d\geq 1$ The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow 3|d+1|-7\geq -1$ Add $7$ to each side. $\Rightarrow 3|d+1|-7+7\geq -1+7$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 3|d+1|\geq 6$ Divide each side by $3$. $\Rightarrow \frac{3|d+1|}{3}\geq \frac{6}{3}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow |d+1|\geq 2$ Write a compound inequality. $\Rightarrow d+1\leq -2$ or $d+1\geq 2$ Subtract $1$ from each side. $\Rightarrow d+1-1\leq -2-1$ or $d+1-1\geq 2-1$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow d\leq -3$ or $d\geq 1$ Hence, the solution is $d\leq -3$ or $d\geq 1$.
