For
|a|<b
assume
-b<a<b
so
add 5 to both side
|-2-8x|<66
assume
-66<-2-8x<66
add 2 to both sides
-64<-8x<68
divide everyboy by -8, don't forget to flip sign
8>x>-8.5
-8.5<x<8
the solution is all numbers between -8.5 and 8, not including -8.5 and 8
in interval notation: (-8.5,8)
or
S={x|-8.5<x<8}
Answer:
B and C. can you select more than one?
Set up the following equation for this segment:
x is segment AB's length, and 3x is segment BC's length. 20 is segment AC's length.
Combine like terms:
Divide both sides by 4 to get x by itself:
x will equal 5.
Plug this value into the values for both segments:
Segment AB:
Segment AB is 5 inches long.
Segment BC:
Segment BC is 15 inches long.
3/4 because it’s parallel so it has the same slope. It just doesn’t pass through the same line.
