Question

Part 1: Show the work to solve |2x+5| -1 < 6 (3 points)

Part 2: Describe the graph of the solution in a complete sentence. (3 points)

is this correct for part 1
x = 1, x = -5

Whats part 2?

Answer 1

no, its not right and you can't have an equal sign when you are doing inequalities: tell me what you did then we can see where you went wrong?

Answer 2

x < 1, x > -5?

Answer 3

no, your numbers are wrong.. let me show you what i did :)

Answer 4

Part 1:

|2x + 5| - 1 < 6

add one to both sides

2x + 5 < 7

subtract 5 to both sides

2x < 2

divide 2 to both sides

x <1

|2x + 5| - 1 > - 6

add one to both sides

2x + 5 > -5

subtract 5 to both sides

2x > - 10

divide 2 to both sides

x > -5

Answer 5

I don't know where I went wrong.

Answer 6

wait! sorry my bad you are right lol sorry :/

Answer 7

Haha, no problem.
What will the graph look like?

Answer 8

x < 1, x > -5, you'll have to draw a dashed line from x=1 and shade the area below it, then you'll have to draw another dashed line from x=-5 and shade above it, lemme draw it for you then you can write away what you see :)

Answer 9

Thanks (:

Answer 10

For this lesson it's just a solid circle or open circle shaded in a certain direction right or left

Answer 11

the graph will have a shaded reagion between 1 and -5 values of x.
