$-2\leq t\leq 4,\qquad$ or, $ t\in [-2,4]$

Use properties from the table 'Absolute Values and Intervals". Apply Property 6: $|x|\leq a\quad\Leftrightarrow\quad -a\leq x\leq a, \quad $ for a = positive number we have $-3\leq t-1\leq 3\qquad $ ... add 1 to all parts $-2\leq t\leq 4$ This is a closed interval, $[-2,4]$ See table: "Types of intervals."
