Question

solve |x-11|>10

Answer 1

|x-11|>10
(x-11)>10 , -(x-11)>10
x>10+11 , -x>-1 ( divide by -1)
x>21 , x<1

Answer 2

u need more explanation ?

Answer 3

yes please just a little. I am helping my 15 year old with math and want to be able to explain

Answer 4

ok first of all do u know what is that | | ?

Answer 5

absolute value?

Answer 6

Thats right , so lets take a simple example |x+2|=4
when u want to remove the absolute value u should put positive and negative sign instead of it and u can put it either in right side or left side so in that example it will be x+2 =+,- 4
and then u divide the paper in two sides
the first will be
(x+2)=4 , x=4-2=2.
and the second will be
(x+2)=-4 , x=-4-2=-6

Answer 7

so in your question its said that |x-11|>10
so u will divide the paper in two sides
the first will be
(x-11)>10 , x>21
and the second will be
-(x-11)>10 ,-x+11>10 ,-x>10-11 ,-x>-1 ,so when u divide by a negative number u should change the direction of the symbols so it will be x<1
