Answer:
The answer is -23
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x is in the range [-1,4]
Step-by-step explanation:
I haven't worked with absolute value inequalities in awhile, but let's take a wack at this.
We are given the following inequality:
| 2x - 3 | <= 5
This implies two possible cases:
[1] -5 <= 2x -3
Or
[2] 2x - 3 <= 5
So let's solve x for both of these cases:
[1] -5 <= 2x - 3
-2 <= 2x
-1 <= x
[2] 2x - 3 <= 5
2x <= 8
x <= 4
So from these cases, we can say the following is true:
x >= -1 and x <= 4
Thus, we can write this in the form
-1 <= x <= 4
Or in interval notation:
{ x is element of reals | -1 <= x <= 4}
Also written as
x is in the range [-1,4]
Where the closed brackets represent 1 and 4 as possible answers whereas parenthesis would imply they were not.

The absolute value of an given number is always positive. So, when adding two to any positive number will always be greater than the number by itself.
