Question

|x – 4| + 7 = 4

Answer 1

subtract 7 from both sides what do you get as a result?

Answer 2

3

Answer 3

be careful... try again...

Answer 4

-3

Answer 5

ok... so the equation is now: |x-4| = -3 agreed?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

on the left side is absolute value... can that ever be negative?

Answer 8

No so now it is x+4=3 ?

Answer 9

no....
since the left side can NEVER be negative, then no matter how hard you try, you cannot find x so that it will equal -3...

in other words, there is NO solution to this equation.

Answer 10

Thank you

Answer 11

yw...

Answer 12

can you help me with this one too?
|2x + 4| < 10?

Answer 13

ok... solving inequalities you'll need to write two separate statements:

2x + 4 < 10 OR 2x + 4 > -10

solve these two and you'll have the solution set....

Answer 14

x=3 or x=-7

Answer 15

well < and >

Answer 16

ive should have written it this way:

2x + 4 < 10 AND 2x + 4 > -10

Answer 17

x<3 AND x>-7 is correct
so anything BETWEEN -7 AND 3 will be a solution to the inequality...
