Question

Solve and graph the absolute value inequality: |2x + 4| > 8

Answer 1

Ok tell what you get after u subtract 4 to both sides

Answer 2

2x > 4
2 > 2

would that be the answer ?

Answer 3

Whenever there is an absolute value involved break the problem into two parts:
2x + 4 > 8
or
-(2x + 4) > 8
and solve each inequality separately.

Answer 4

so 2 > -2

Answer 5

or do you flip the sign ?

Answer 6

try x>2 but thats 1st one

Answer 7

ranga you got it

Answer 8

Solving 2x + 4 > 8 you got x > 2 which is correct.

Now solve
-(2x + 4) > 8

Answer 9

would it be
x > 2
& x > -2

Answer 10

-(2x + 4) > 8
-2x - 4 > 8
add 4 to both sides
-2x > 12
Divide both sides by -2
And when dividing by a negative number flip the > to < or < to >
x < -6

So the solutions are: x < -6 or x > 2
