I would like to thank Bob for illustrating me an succinct way to solve
conditioned equations:
"
A[x_ /; -1 < x <= 1] := (x + 1)/2;
A[x_ /; 1 < x <= 3] := (3 - x)/2;
A[x_] = 0;
Plot[A[x], {x, -1.2, 3.2}];
Needs["Algebra`InequalitySolve`"];
soln[a_ /; 0 <= a <= 1] := Module[{x}, x /.
{ToRules[InequalitySolve[(x + 1)/2 == a || (3 - x)/2 == a, x]]}];
Table[soln[a], {a, 0, 1, .2}]
{{-1, 3}, {-0.6, 2.6}, {-0.2, 2.2}, {0.2, 1.8}, {0.6, 1.4}, {1.}}

Now my question is whether I can use A[x]==a directly in the solving
equation? Say, for example,
soln[a_]=InequalitySolve[A[x]== a, x]]}]; // substituted by A[x]==a
Thanks!
