Question

Select the graph for the solution of the open sentence. Click until the correct graph appears. 2|x| + 1 < 5

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is x < 2 or x > -2. The graph would be a line between -2 and 2 with an open circle on both.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, first solve the equation for the absolute value portion of the equation.

2|x| + 1 < 5

2|x| < 4

|x| < 2

Now since there is an absolute value around it, we have to complete it for the positive and negative versions.

x < 2 OR x > -2
