Part 1: Solve |4x-11| < 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you have an idea on how to start @ninaa1024 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Part 1 |4x - 11| < 5; remove the bars 4x - 11 < 5; add 11 to each side 4x - 11 + 11 < 5 + 11; simplify 4x < 16; divide each side by 4 4x/4 < 16/4; simplify & solve x < 4 -|4x - 11| < 5; remove the bars and use parenthesis -(4x - 11) < 5; distribute the - sign -4x + 11 < 5; subtract 11 from both sides -4x + 11 - 11 < 5 - 11; simplify -4x < -6; divide each side by -4 and switch the sign -4x/-4 > -6/-4; simplify x > 6/4; reduce x > 3/2

I need Part 2: Use complete sentences to describe the graph in words. (3 points)

OpenStudy (reemii):

it's (x<4) And (x>3/2) indeed and the answer is simply written as (3/2<x<4).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

seems right, part one. and if you need part 2, why ask for help on part 1 when you already had it? lol

I need Part 2: Use complete sentences to describe the graph in words. (3 points) it was a mistake.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anything you give is good thank you !

OpenStudy (reemii):

in general, the solution of f(x)<5 is found on a graph by finding the set of x's where f(x) is below the line of equation y=5. draw the graph of |4x-11|, draw the line y=5, and observe.. |dw:1375747142031:dw|
