The solution is {-8, 3} but I’m not sure how to graph it on a line, is it A B C or D?
1 answer:
Answer:
-8 < x< 3
Step-by-step explanation:
|2x+5| <11
there are two solutions, one positive and one negative ( remember to flip the inequality for the negative)
2x+5 <11 and 2x+5 > -11
Subtract 5 from each side
2x+5-5 < 11-5 and 2x+5-5 > -11-5
2x< 6 and 2x>-16
Divide by 2
2x/2 <6/2 and 2x/2 >-16/2
x <3 and x>-8
-8 < x< 3
x is less than 3 and x is greater than -8
open circles and -8 and 3 and a line between

An expression of the form
is called a "compound fraction"
Compound fractions can be written as simple fractions by multiplying c to a, and then adding the product to c as follows:
for example,
can be written as:
2.
when we subtract or add a fraction
from an integer k,
we first write k as a fraction with denominator n. We can do this as follows:
for example, if we want to subtract
from 8,
we first write 8 as a fraction with denominator 2:
3.
Thus,
4.
The simple fraction 7/2 is not an option, so we write it as a compound fraction as follows:
(So write 7 as the sum of the largest multiple of 2, smaller than 7 + what is left. In our case these numbers are 6 and 1, then proceed as shown)
