Answer:
x is in the range [-1,4]
Step-by-step explanation:
I haven't worked with absolute value inequalities in awhile, but let's take a wack at this.
We are given the following inequality:
| 2x - 3 | <= 5
This implies two possible cases:
[1] -5 <= 2x -3
Or
[2] 2x - 3 <= 5
So let's solve x for both of these cases:
[1] -5 <= 2x - 3
-2 <= 2x
-1 <= x
[2] 2x - 3 <= 5
2x <= 8
x <= 4
So from these cases, we can say the following is true:
x >= -1 and x <= 4
Thus, we can write this in the form
-1 <= x <= 4
Or in interval notation:
{ x is element of reals | -1 <= x <= 4}
Also written as
x is in the range [-1,4]
Where the closed brackets represent 1 and 4 as possible answers whereas parenthesis would imply they were not.
Cheers.
The question can be written out like this:
36 = 0.009x
Multiply both sides by 1,000:
9x = 36,000
Divide both sides by 9:
x = 4,000
Answer:
<em>( - 15, - 16 ) </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Coordinates of midpoint are ( 
, 
)
( - 5 + x ) / 2 = - 10 ⇒ x = - 15
( 4 + y ) / 2 = - 6 ⇒ y = - 16
<em>( - 15, - 16 )</em>
