Question

What is the solution of 3 lx + 5l <6?
A. x ≤ -3 and x ≥ -7
B. No solution
C. x ≥ -3 and x ≤ -7
D. x < -3 or x > -7

Answer 1

3 |x + 5| < 6
divide by 3
|x + 5| < 6/3
| x + 5 | < 2

(x + 5) < 2 -- subtract 5 from both sides
x < 2 - 5
x < -3

-(x + 5) < 2
-x - 5 < 2 -- add 5 to both sides
-x < 2 + 5
-x < 7 -- multiply by -1 to make x positive, and change inequality sign
x > -7

Answer D

Answer 2

Thanks for the help, it was wrong tho.

Answer 13

I thought I was going crazy there for a minute...thanks ganeshie :)

Answer 14

np :) wolfram is there for everything lol :P

Answer 15

is there supposed to be an equal sign in the problem ? That would make a difference

Answer 16

if there is an equal sign in the problem, then the answer would be A

Answer 17

no, its suposed to be less than & eaqual to, but i couldnt find that

Answer 18

lol, there settles the suspense ;)

Answer 19

so the problem is less then or equal to 6 ?? If so, then the answer is A.

I can't make the equal sign with the inequality sign either, so I would put :
3 |x + 5| <= 6

that equal sign can make the difference between getting it right and getting it wrong

Answer 20

\(\large 3|x + 5| \le 6 \)

Answer 21

oh, so whats the difference ?

Answer 22

how'd you do that @ganeshie8

Answer 23

\(\large 3|x + 5| \le 6 \)

is different from

\(\large 3|x + 5| \lt 6 \)

Answer 24

showing off ganeshie...lol....I can't make that sign

Answer 25

hahah yes :)

Answer 26

Naya..if there is an equal sign in the problem, there will be an equal sign in the answer

Answer 27

\(


\large 3|x + 5| \le 6


\(

Answer 28

try this again now

Answer 29

\(


\large 3|x + 5| \lt 6


\)

Answer 30

copy paste below thing exactly in ur next reply :

```
\(


\large 3|x + 5| \le 6


\)

```

Answer 31

try again now :)

Answer 32

\(


\large 3|x + 5| \le 6


\)

Answer 33

Bingo :) you got it

Answer 34

i dont see the difference

Answer 35

the equal sign makes a difference.
If there is an equal sign in the problem, there will be an equal sign in the answer. If there is no equal sign in the problem, then there will be no equal sign in the answer
Understand ?

Answer 36

yeah, i have to go now

Answer 37

c ya :) thanks again ganeshie
