Question

can any one help me to solve this problem solving...


For what value of x is this inequality |x – 6|< - 8 true? Why?

Answer 1

No its not because that | | is absolutevalue and will always make it positive

Answer 2

For no value of x!
There is no solution to this problem.
Reason: The left hand side is an absolute value which will always be positive no matter whether x is negative, zero or positive.
But the right hand side is negative.
A positive number can never be less than a negative number.
So there is no value of x for which the inequality will be valid.
