Answer 1

Still, try it. We check the ans. for you

Answer 2

Hint:

In general an inequality of the form |x - a| < b becomes:

-b < x - a < b

Answer 3

You guy's aren't helping, When someone has no clue on how to do something like this.....

Answer 4

I hope the translation for that isn't "I just want the answer and I don't care about explanations".

Answer 5

I dont like you, your a smart retrice just because someone doesn't understand something doesn't mean that they want the asnwer.

Answer 6

Okay, how about an example. Would that help?

Answer 7

Sure

Answer 8

-_-

Answer 9

A property of absolute values states that
|x - a| < b
= -b < x - a < b
= -b + a < x < b + a


For example, suppose we had
|2x + 7| < 5

Then it becomes:
-5 < 2x + 7 < 5

and the goal is to isolate x

Therefore we subtract 7 from all sides:

-5 - 7 < 2x < 5 - 7

Simplying, we get:

-12 < 2x < -2

Dividing all sides by 2:
-6 < x< -1

Once x is isolated completely, we are done.

Answer 10

Answer 11

I think a personal tutor would be more useful for you than Open Study.

Answer 12

Answer 13

^Thus the real truth of your intentions and purpose here is revealed.

Answer 14

Lol, if i dont understand what your saying, and you aren't helping me out. How am i going to answer this question? Want me to just not answer it? Alright ill do that. thanks

Answer 15

Hi @Counterfeit - we here at OpenStudy are NOT here to provide you with just answers - both @Hero and @CoCoTsoi offered to help, but you refused them. If you continue this kind of behavior, you will be asked to leave OpenStudy. If you want to stay and learn, by all means, please do. Thank you!

Answer 16

Lol i didn't refuse anything but they weren't helping. And make me leave i dont care? If you aren't helping me the right way im going to let you know.

Answer 17

Ok, well according to what you wrote here, the help you wanted was: "Can you just type me the answer so i can get over with this test??? PLEASE"

So no, you won't get that kind of help here. I'm not trying to be confrontational here @Counterfeit - which is why I'm talking to you as opposed to taking any other actions. But if you sincerely want help, I'd suggest asking for it - at no point in this question did you say what you didn't understand. You just 'didn't get it' and then just asked for the answer.

Answer 18

Whatever, hahaha your acting like this is a big retricedeal, i dont care about all your little rules

Answer 19

Ok, well, good luck with your test then, goodbye.
