Question

|2x + 10| > 26

Answer 1

|2x|>16
|x|>8

Answer 2

x<-8 or x>8

Answer 3

no try -10 for x that does not work

2x+10>26

2x+10 < -26

2x> 16 x > 8

2x < -36
x<-18 or x > 8

Answer 4

oh zz is right, ok this means that i'm off for today..

Answer 5

x < -18

Answer 6

try to break these up into two equations

|x| > y is the same as x > y and x < -y

Answer 7

3|2x + 4| – 1 = 11

Answer 8

ok first get it down to just the absolut value on the left

|2x+4| = 6

right?

Answer 9

now we have 2x+4 = 6
and 2x+4 = -6

solve for x in both equations

Answer 10

12/3 = 4

Answer 11

sorry thought that was a 2 on the outside

Answer 12

3|2x + 4| – 1 = 11

3|2x+4| = 12

|2x+4| = 4

2x+4 = 4 so x = 0

2x+4 = -4 so x = -4

Answer 13

agent I think you might want to review solving with absolutes

Answer 14

ok nvm me, im just bad at absolute values.. but this time my mistake was dividing 12/3 lol

Answer 15

apparently i think that 12/3=6, i shld be sent back to 1st grade

Answer 16

well and you are not breaking them up into two equations, you need to do that once you have isolated the abolute values signs

Answer 17

|2x – 1| = 3

Answer 18

lets let him do this one...

Answer 19

no i like to simplify it down all the way first

Answer 20

OK I GOT THIS!

Answer 21

what do you want to do first ternvilla?

Answer 22

Hey, don't mind me! I'm getting so hungry watching you guys solving so fast!

Answer 23

no not you you agent, the dude who posts it

Answer 24

ok deleted

Answer 25

I trust in you:)

Answer 26

@trenvilla what do you think the first step should be?

Answer 27

x+2 or x + -1

Answer 28

when we try to solve for something on the inside of a absolute value sign we do this

|a| = b
so a = b and a = -b

so if we had |2x+6| = 5

we take the inside and set it equal to the outside 2x+6 = 5 AND we take the inside and set it equal to the negative of the outside 2x+6 = -5

then we solve for x in both equations

|2x-1| = 3

so

2x-1 = 3 and 2x-1 = -3

solve for both of these, you should end up with two x = something at the end.

Answer 29

cool ty
