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

Answer 1

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?

Answer 2

oops It is an equality.*

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

Well you get |x+7|=-12

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

can the distance of something be -12 units?

Answer 8

no

Answer 9

so does the equality have a solution?

Answer 10

nope

Answer 11

correct! :)

Answer 12

thanks
