OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry no I'm in lesson 6 algebra 1 and need a lot of help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because you are ahead of me can you take a look at my question below yours

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok well better luck next time I guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on let me find my paper

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok! Solve and check the inequality, if possible. [4m+8]<12 the [ and] are substitute for absolute deviation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember that when dealing with absolute values you have to consider the positive and negative of 12 and when you take the negative you flip the inequality. do you remember this from lecture?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no! I have been crying over this test and looking in my book and online with no luck so all I need is some help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just tell me how to solve and check the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so write out two inequalities for this. \[\left| 4m+8 \right|<12\] \[\left| 4m+8 \right|>-12\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then subtract 8 from both sides? right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just use inverse operations to solve the linear inequality. that is correct for your first step yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think we just robbed someone elses post, i didnt notice. OP what did you need help with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1386302411242:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perform the inverse operation of multiplication on 4, to each side. then you should get your variable by itself
