So I have reached the point where I have |x^2   -   7| <0.5

How do I finish the problem?

I am so lost.

this is the only bit of your question that I understand 

 

 

$$\\|x^2 - 7| <0.5\\\\
-0.5 -0.5+7 6.5 6.5 x^2>6.5\qquad or\quad x^2<7.5\\\\$$

 

 

$$[x<-\sqrt{6.5}\quad\cup\quad x>\sqrt{6.5}\quad ]\quad \cap \quad[ -\sqrt{7.5}

 

this is easiest to see in a graph

$$\\-\sqrt{7.5}
