Question

|-2x - 4| < 12 combine the two inequalities into one expression that works for this situation.

Answer 1

\[|a| < b \implies -b < a < b\]
In this case your 'a' is (-2x - 4) and your 'b' is 12.

So what's the compound inequality that represents this absolute value?

Answer 2

im so confused can you please work it out for me... :(

Answer 3

Stop that mkuma.

Answer 4

What part is confusing you hellow?

Answer 5

how to solve it into a compound inequaltiy

Answer 6

I just showed you that part.

Answer 7

If you have:
\[|a| < b\]
You can re-write it as:
\[-b < a < b\]

Answer 8

So in this case your 'a' is (-2x-4)

Answer 9

and your 'b' is 12.

Answer 10

so from that you should be able to at least write the compound inequality

Answer 11

give it a try.
