Question

solution set of absolute value 1-6x-8<-1

Answer 1

What parts are in the absolute value?
Is it |1-6x|-8<-1?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

not sure how to do the absolute value things

Answer 4

On the keyboard its shift and then above the enter key.
If you add the 8 to both sides you get:
|1-6x|<7
This means
1-6x<7 and 1-6x>-7
Solving for x results in:
-6x<6 and -6x>-8
x>-1 and x<4/3
or in interval notation:
(-1, 4/3)

Answer 5

-12<-5x+3<2 i got no solution

Answer 6

If you subtract 3 from all the terms you get:
-15<-5x<-1
Then divide by -5
3>x>1/5
or looking the other way
1/5<x<3 which is (1/5, 3)
Remember: if you divide or multiply by a negative number you have to change the direction of the less than and greater than signs.
