Help!! i dont understand this (will give medal) |4x – 3| < 7 Select one: a. {x| -2.5 < x < 1} b. {x| -7 < x < 7} c. {x| -1 < x < 2.5} d. {x| -4 < x < 4}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

turn it in to \[-7<4x-3<7\] and solve for \(x\) in two steps 1) add 3 all the way across 2) divide everything by 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i add 3 all the way across lol

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[−7<4x−3<7\] adding three to all sides of the inequality (leftside, inside, rightside) \[−7+3<4x−3+3<7+3\] now simplify before dividing by four

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4 <4x<10 do i dvide each number the same way you added the 3s?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yes, now divide leftside, inside, and rightside by four

OpenStudy (anonymous):
