Question

John’s father is the head manager of a company that produces a best selling product. During the most recent computer upgrade, a new production inequality, |-2x - 4| < 12, was added to speed up production. The variable x in the inequality represents the amount of raw material (in kilograms) to make the product.

1). Solve inequality
2).f x represents positive amounts in kilograms, what is the solution set?
3).According to John’s father, only positive integer solutions to the equation can be used and accepted.

How does this change the answer to question number 2? Explain.

Answer 1

do you get it?

Answer 2

I think it is saying, just use the positive side of the absolute value |-2x-4|; ignore -|-2x-4|

Answer 3

can you do the questions for me and show work and explain to me?

Answer 4

???

Answer 5

Solve the equation as given -2x-4<12

Answer 6

???

Answer 7

can u show me how

Answer 8

You try. It is solving for x. Basic stuff. If you get stuck, I or someone here will help you.

Answer 9

???

Answer 10

k

Answer 11

|2x+4|<12

−12<2x+4<12

−16<2x<8

−8<x<4

Answer 12

?

Answer 13

is that inequality solved right

Answer 14

do you know number 3?

Answer 15

I do not know why you changed -2x-4 to 2x+4. They are telling you to consider only the positive values.

Answer 16

In order to consider only the positive value, you should solve the inequality -2x-4<12
