Answer:
-3 < x < 3
x is some number between -3 and 3; x cannot equal -3, x cannot equal 3
graph shown below
==============================================
Work Shown:
5|x| + 3 < 18
5|x| + 3 - 3 < 18-3 ... see note 1
5|x| < 15
(5|x|)/5 < 15/5 .... note 2
|x| < 3
-3 < x < 3 .... note 3
graph shown below
-----------
note 1: Subtract 3 fom both sides to undo the "+3"
note 2: Divide both sides by 5 to undo the multiplication
note 3: If |x| < k, for some positive number k, then -k < x < k
In analyzing Manda’s work, she made a mistake instep 3, she did not subtract one x from the left side.
<h3>What is the fraction about?</h3>Fractions are known to be the parts of a complete or whole numbers of objects. It is known to have a numerator and a denominator and when solving for it, the rule of BODMAS must be obeyed.
In step 3 we see that (image attached) she did not subtract one x from the left side. The right thing to do is to use x to cancel out on the both side and that will make the answer to be correct but she did not.
So her error is seen in step 3 and as such, option C is correct.
See full question in the image attached.
