Hmm not so much on the second one D: Let's see what's going on.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

$\Large 4p+1\gt-11$subtracting 1,$\Large 4p\gt-12$Dividing 4,$\Large p\gt-3$

zepdrix (zepdrix):

p is GREATER than -3. Did you accidently flip the inequality sign maybe? :o

Here are my last 2.

I dont think i did them right because this is confusing for me but if you can please explain what i did wrong and the right answer.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

$\Large |2x+1|\le 5$Dropping the bars gives us,$\Large -5\le2x+1\le5$Then solving for x gives us,$\Large -3\le x\le 2$ Looks like you got the 3rd one correct, lol :) were you just guessing? :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, i worked them out the way i was taught to but its confusing for me. I have never been good at math. so i got 3rd correct what about the 4th?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Hmm these absolutes always confuse me also... -_- I think this is how we do it...$\Large |2x+4|>14$Dividing each side by 2,$\Large |x+2|>7$Dropping the bars let's us write it like ummmm...$\Large (x+2)>7, \qquad\qquad (x+2)<-7$

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Solving for x gives usssss... Yah I think you got the right answer there also! :O

Thanks!

Haha yeah so freaking confusing but thanks for the help (:
