|-8x|<_8

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Try it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-8x <_ 8 or -8x _> -8 can you solve from there? remember, when dividing by negative, flip the signs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-8x ≤ 8 x ≥ -1 The sign flips when you divide by a negative number. -8x ≥ -8 x ≤ 1 -1 ≤ x ≤ 1 Btw, aren't these the same kinds of problems as your past questions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-8x <_ 8 divide by -8 x >_ -1 and then -8x _> -8 divide by -8 x <_ 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the composite inequality is -1 <_ x <_ 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is no "or" in there right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, since it's able to become composite, it's and, not or.
