Question

I believe the answer is "E". Am I correct?

Answer 1

show your solution

Answer 2

What do you mean? I think it is "e" so.... x less than or equal to 4.

Answer 3

(3/2)x<3+3
3x<12
x<4

Answer 4

SHOW US YOUR SOLUTION WHY YOU PICK E or were you just guessing?

Answer 5

I said I got x is less than or equal to 4. No,I was not guessing. All I wanted was a simple yes or no answer. Not for someone just to give me the right answer. I didnt show work because I was simply to lazy because it takes long to upload my work or to type it

Answer 6

show your solution on how you got that answer

Answer 7

@nincompoop THERE, ARE YOU HAPPY

Answer 8

| | absolute value means you need two solutions

Answer 9

Oh I see so I need to also do this @nincompoop

Answer 11

That was why I came on here to get help. I dont appreciate being accused of "guessing". I made a mistake and came on here to see if I was right or wrong, NOT for someone to just give me the answer. I am not like that.

Answer 12

I wasn't sure if you were or you weren't, it's why I phrased it as inquiry.

Answer 13

moving along, what is your answer now after realizing that you needed more solutions?

Answer 14

Sorry I was doing something else. I am confused. I read on that website this:
Solve | 2x – 3 | > 5.
The first thing to do is clear the absolute value bars by splitting the inequality into two. Then I'll solve the two linear inequalities.

| 2x – 3 | > 5
2x – 3 < –5 or 2x – 3 > 5 [this is the pattern for "greater than"]
2x < –2 or 2x > 8
x < –1 or x > 4
so they switched the signs. I did the same so, I was right about getting zero the second time?

Answer 15

yes 4 and 0
the trick is to split the absolute value into two inequalities, then solve as is.
This NY High school regents prep exam website is probably less confusing
