Answer:

\large\boxed{|x+7|\geq2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

|x-a|\geq b\\\\a=\dfrac{-9+(-5)}{2}=\dfrac{-14}{2}=-7\\\\b=-9-(-7)=-9+7=-2\\b=-5-(-7)=-5+7=2\\\\|x-(-7)|\geq2\\\\|x+7|\geq2\\\\Check:\\\\|x+7|\geq2\iff x+7\geq2\ \vee\ x+7\leq-2\qquad\text{subtract 7 from both sides}\\\\x+7-7\geq2-7\ \vee\ x+7-7\leq-2-7\\\\x\geq-5\ \vee\ x\leq-9\qquad CORRECT\ :)

x \le -9 \ \text{ or } x \ge -5

x \le -7 - 2 \ \text{ or } x \ge -7 + 2

x+7 \le -7 - 2+7 \ \text{ or } x+7 \ge -7 + 2+7

x+7 \le -2 \ \text{ or } x+7 \ge 2

|x+7| \ge 2

<h3>So the final answer is |x+7| \ge 2</h3>

---------------------------

side notes:

  • The -7 in step 2 is the midpoint of -9 and -5. You add up -9 and -5 to get -14, then divide by 2 to get -7.
  • x+7 is the same as x-(-7)
  • For the last step I used the rule that if |x| > k then x < -k or x > k for some positive number k

Answer:

1 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Do 2/3 x 2/1 because 2/1 = 2 and you get 1 1/3. Make 1 1/3 into 1 2/6 (1/3 = 2/6) and add 3/6 (1/2 = 3/6)
