Question

Solve with interval notation Solve: 5 | x − 2 | + 4 > 8

Answer 1

Answer:

x<6/5, x>14/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps

$5\left|x-2\right|+4>8$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}4\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$5\left|x-2\right|+4-4>8-4$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$5\left|x-2\right|>4$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}5$

$\frac{5\left|x-2\right|}{5}>\frac{4}{5}$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$\left|x-2\right|>\frac{4}{5}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:absolute\:rule}:\quad\mathrm{If}\:|u|\:>\:a,\:a>0\:\mathrm{then}\:u\:<\:-a\:\quad\mathrm{or}\quad\:u\:>\:a$

$x-2<-\frac{4}{5}\quad\mathrm{or}\quad\:x-2>\frac{4}{5}$

Show Steps

$x-2<-\frac{4}{5}\quad:\quad x<\frac{6}{5}$

Show Steps

$x-2>\frac{4}{5}\quad:\quad x>\frac{14}{5}$

$\mathrm{Combine\:the\:intervals}$

$x<\frac{6}{5}\quad\mathrm{or}\quad\:x>\frac{14}{5}$
