How would you solve this inequality: |p-3|<-8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Same way moneybird did in the last one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\pm (p-3) \le 8\]

OpenStudy (lilg132):

REMEMBER TO CLICK GOOD ANSWER

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it's wrong answer

OpenStudy (lilg132):

oops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it will never be true because it's always positive

OpenStudy (lilg132):

p - 3 < -8 p < -8 + 3 p < -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are wrong again

OpenStudy (lilg132):

how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

absolute value is always positive positive < -8 when? never

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean without the equal sign up there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah he meant <=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then he should write it in appropriate way :D

OpenStudy (lilg132):

but then when it is a positive answer e.g. p - 3 < 8 then you have two answers one is for p - 3 > -8 right?
