Inequalities... 5-3|4x+3|>2

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

2|4x+3|>2

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

|4x+3|=-(4x+3) =-4x-3 & |4x+3|=4x+3

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

I subtract 3 from all sides now?

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

one time 2(4x+3)>2 8x+6>2 8x>2-6 8x>-4 x>-4/8 x>-1/2

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

no... those were not parantheses...

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

They were absolute value signs

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

& one time 2(-4x-3)>2 -8x-6>2 -8x>2+6 -8x>8 x>8/-8 x>-1

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Why do you distribute? Those were absolute value signs... not parentheses.

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

i have convert them into parenthesis

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

|a|=-a & a

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

I know that

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

so |4x+3|=4x+3 & -(4x+3)

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

gt it @MathLegend ?

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Okay

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Now, I can do this for all Inequalites? (Turning the absolute value signs into parentheses?)

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

yes!
