Part 1: Show the work to solve |5x – 2| 8 Part 2: Describe the graph of the solution in words.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you mean by |5x-2| 8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has to be solved and describe it as you would put it in the graph form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, but do you times the 8 or is it equal to 8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is equal to 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. So 5x-2=8 or 5x-2=-8 you can solve from here and there'll be two solutions. 5x=10 and 5x=-6

OpenStudy (mani_jha):

For solving it, square the equation first and see what you get(squaring squares the polynomial and removes the absolute modulus operator)
