OpenStudy (anonymous):

understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has a + sign after the 7, my bad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

problems madison?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this your problem?: 7 + |9-5x| > 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 7 from both sides... what do you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

/9-5x/ equal module? :D in portugal is !9-5x! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you put it in {x:xER} form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we'll get to that...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 7 from both sides, what do you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6 and you change the > sign to <

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right... |9-5x| > -6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

without going through all the algebra, look at that left side.. can you tell me if that left side can ever be negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no so it'd be no solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, any x value you can think of is a solution...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no matter what x is, that left side will always be bigger than -6... so your answer is all real numbers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still with me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did I lose you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
