For
|a|<b
assume
-b<a<b
so
add 5 to both side
|-2-8x|<66
assume
-66<-2-8x<66
add 2 to both sides
-64<-8x<68
divide everyboy by -8, don't forget to flip sign
8>x>-8.5
-8.5<x<8
the solution is all numbers between -8.5 and 8, not including -8.5 and 8
in interval notation: (-8.5,8)
or
S={x|-8.5<x<8}
Answer:
y= 5x
Step-by-step explanation:
since each x number is 1/5 of the y, it's 5 times x = y
Answer:
- 34 < x < 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Inequalities of the type | x | < a, always have a solution of the form
- a < x < a
given | x + 12 | + 5 < 27 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
| x + 12 | < 22, then
- 22 < x + 12 < 22 ( subtract 12 from all 3 intervals )
- 34 < x < 10
