Question

Show the work to solve |5x - 8| >= 8
Then describe the graph of the solution in words.

Answer 1

5x-8>8 and -(5x-8)>8
Can you solve the inequality?

Answer 2

No, I don't get how to do any of this.

Answer 3

just mentaly replace the inequality sign with and equal sign and solve like normal so you get

5x-8>8
5x>16
x>16/5

for the other
-(5x-8)>8 distribute the negitive sign
-5x+8>8
-5x>0
x<0 when you divide by an inequality by a negitive you flip the sign
