To solve |3x+2|<4, split the equation into _____. 3x + 2 < 4 and 3x + 2 < -4 3x + 2 < 4 and 3x + 2 > - 4 3x - 2 < 4 and 3x - 2 > - 4 3x + 2 < - 4 and 3x + 2 > 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if you have |x| < a you split it into x < a and x > -a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kinda confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the answer then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|3x+2|<4 so according to what i wrote up there: 3x+2 < 4 and 3x+2 > -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that would make my answer a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The general formula for |x| < y is -y<x<y So you can split this equation to -4<3x+2<4 So option (b) is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank u :)
