are u sure J?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-10 < x < 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm pretty sure I think. Well I see it as you can not do anything in the absolute value. It becomes what is in there x+2<8 treat the < sign as if it were an = sign suntract 2 And then x<6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or am I thinking of a different function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I looked it up on maythway it is the answer :)

|x+2|<8 -8<x+2<8 -10<x<6 interval notation (-10,6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont understand how I am wrong? Why do you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the interpretation of |x+2|<8 is all the x-values that are within 8 units of -2. So -2-8=-10 and -2+8=6. See the drawing|dw:1317599561866:dw|
