SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!



Which compound sentence is equivalent to |x - 5| > 4?
A. x - 5 > 4 or x - 5 < -4
B. -4 < x - 5 < 4
C. -8 < 2x + 3 < 8
D. x - 5 = 4 or x - 5 = -4
E. 2x + 3 > 8 or 2x + 3 < -8

Answer 1

If the absolute value is greater than 4, the numbers must be to the right of 4 or to the left of -4.
So: x-5>4 or x-5<-4
Solve both of those by adding 5 to both sides.

Answer 2

so A ?

Answer 3

yes A is the answer
