solve : |x-18|<4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this script would help u : |x-18|<4 Remove the absolute value term. This creates a \ on the right-hand side of the equation because |x|=\x. x-18<\(4) Set up the portion of the \ solution. x-18<4 Move all terms not containing x to the right-hand side of the inequality. x<22 Set up the - portion of the \ solution. When solving the - portion of an inequality, flip the direction of the inequality sign. x-18>-(4) Multiply -1 by the 4 inside the parentheses. x-18>-4 Since -18 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the inequality by adding 18 to both sides. x>18-4 Subtract 4 from 18 to get 14. x>14 The solution to the inequality includes both the positive and negative versions of the absolute value. x<22 and x>14 The solution is the set of values where x<22 and x>14. 14<x<22
