Answer:
-3/8 I think
Step-by-step explanation:
then u just simplify it which is -3/8
If 2x+7>=0, x>=-3.5 then |2x+7|=2x+7.
Then the inequality becomes:
2x+7>23, 2x>16, x>8.(which is an acceptable result since we already assumed x>=-3.5)
If 2x+7<0, x<-3.5 then |2x+7|= -(2x+7).
Then the inequality becomes:
-(2x+7)>23, 2x+7<-23, 2x <-30, x<-15.
(which is an acceptable result since we already assumed x<-3.5)
Thus the answer is x<-15 or x>8.
The graph is simple. You draw the line of real numbers and "shadow" all numbers above 8 and all numbers bellow - 15.
