Question

solve each inequality, graph its solution set and write the solution set in interval notation.
-1/2|x+7| = 6 write in interval notation

myininaya · Answer

This is not an inequality.
It is an inequality.

Anyways to solve this equality
-1/2|x+7|=6
what happens if you multiply -2 on both sides?

myininaya · Answer

oops It is an equality.*

myininaya · Answer

But is it a true equality or a false equality...
Stay tuned...

anonymous · Answer

you would get x+7= -12 and do likewise for other side but it would be positive like so  x+7=12

myininaya · Answer

Well you get |x+7|=-12

myininaya · Answer

But can the distance traveled ever be measured with negative numbers?

myininaya · Answer

can the distance of something be -12 units?

anonymous · Answer

no

myininaya · Answer
