help me understand why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first you have to clear the abs value sign and you do that by setting up two inequalities

OpenStudy (muzzack):

make 16 as 16 and -16 in two absolute eq.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and what you are left with is two answers

OpenStudy (muzzack):

so the first one will be 2x < 10 and the second is 2x < -20
