Question

3-|8-2x| is greater than or equal to -1

Answer 1

@AccessDenied help?

Answer 2

you will have to get the absolute value by itself first

Answer 3

then you have to decide if its even possible.

Answer 4

it is possible.

Answer 5

ok then. once the abs value is by itself make 2 inequalities

Answer 6

on one use the current sign on the right.
on the other use the opp sign and change the inequality around. does that make sense?
is the equation editor working today?

Answer 7

dont think so..
3-8-2x

Answer 8

-(3-8-2x)?

Answer 9

you would do
3-{8-2x} >= -1
-{8-2x}>=-4
{8-2x}<=4 <this could be solution or
{8-2x}>=-4 <this

Answer 10

my brackets mean absolute value btw

Answer 11

no thats wrong

Answer 12

how is it wrong.

Answer 13

the answer is [2,6]

Answer 14

that is what i got.

Answer 15

But, I don't know how.

Answer 16

solve both of the linear inequalities.

Answer 17

let me review both of them again. maybe i missed something

Answer 18

8-2x<=4 or 8-2x>=-4
solve both of these.

Answer 19

Yes, I got it now :) Thank you for helping me

Answer 20

no problem.

Answer 21

I have two other that I'm stuck on that I've tried over and over and still cannot seem to get it right, can you help me with those?

Answer 22

sure

Answer 23

1st.
4-2{2-5x}<=2

I got 2/5 and 6/5 but thats wrong.

2nd.
5{3x+1}+4<=4

I got 2 and 3, but thats wrong too.

Answer 24

on the top one. tell me what your equation is once you have the absolute value by itself.

Answer 25

2*{2-5x}<=2?
2*{2-5x}<=-2?

Answer 26

no you need to get rid of that 2 on the left. and you just forgot about your minus sign there. it should be
4-2{2-5x}<=2
-2{2-5x}<=-2
{2-5x}>=1
2-5x>=1 or 2-5x<=-1

Answer 27

see what is happening in each step? or do we need to break a step or two down?

Answer 28

divided by -1 on each side to get rid of it right?

Answer 29

sorry -2

Answer 30

by -2 is right. after you subtract the 4

Answer 31

and when you divide by negative you flip the inequality

Answer 32

yes, okay then solving I got 1/5 and 3/5?

Answer 33

correct.

Answer 34

Yay! :) Okay, next one.

Answer 35

5{3x+1}+4<=4

Answer 36

divide by 5 on each side?

Answer 37

this one is kind of interesting. what did you get once you got the abs by itself?

Answer 38

{3x+1}+4<=4/5?

Answer 39

3x+5<=4/5?

Answer 40

you cant add something from outside the abs value. i would subtract the 4 first. then divide by the 5

Answer 41

5{3x+1}=0?

Answer 42

then divide both sides by 5

Answer 43

and your putting an equal sign in there your still on inequalities right?

Answer 44

{3x+1}<=0/5 and yes

Answer 45

my bad sorry

Answer 46

its good. so what do you get.

Answer 47

-1/3?

Answer 48

yes

Answer 49

Awesome! Thank you :) Makes more sense now.

Answer 50

no problem.
