Solve for x: −4|x + 5| = −16

1 answer:

3 0

-4 | x + 5 | = -16...divide both sides by -4, eliminating it on the left side
| x + 5 | = -16/-4
| x + 5 | = 4

x + 5 = 4 -(x + 5) = 4
x = 4 - 5 -x - 5 = 4
x = -1 -x = 4 + 5
-x = 9
x = -9

solutions : x = -1 , x = -9

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Now if the high and low monthly average temperatures satisfy the inequality, then the , monthly averages are always within 22 degrees of 43°F.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality describes the range of monthly average temperatures T in degrees Fahrenheit at a certain location.

The inequality expression is given as:

$|T-43|\leq 22$

now this expression could also be expressed as:

$-22\leq T-43\leq22\\\\-22+43 \leq T \leq 22+43\\\\21\leq T\leq 65$

Now if the high and low monthly average temperatures satisfy the inequality, then the , monthly averages are always within 22 degrees of 43°F.

( As the difference is 22 degrees to the left and right)
