\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf │2x+1│≤5 }\) \(\Large\color{green}{ \bf 2x+1≤5 ~~~~or~~~~2x+1≥-5 }\) \(\Large\color{green}{ \bf 2x≤4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~2x≥-6 }\) \(\Large\color{green}{ \bf x≤2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~x≥-3 }\) hence you get \(\Large\color{green}{ \bf -3≤x≤2 }\)

so A?

can you help me? @marissalovescats

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

No not A. A shows x<=-3 and x >=-2 You can automatically use the process of elimination to cross out C because those are open circles and since were doing with <= or >=, those are closed circles. A cool trick for graphing inequalities is to look at the arrows or your (>= or <=) Here as showed, he got the answers of x<=2 and x>=-3 So you put a closed circle on 2 and draw a line from 2 going to the left because is is <= so the arrow is pointing to the left. And with x>=-3 you put a closed dot on -3 and draw a line to the right of it because it is >=. That's a cool trick I learned. Make sense? :)

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Another trick for knowing whether to draw open or closed circles: Open: > or < Closed: >= or <= because you have a little something extra (aka the equal part or aka coloring in the circle)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um i thoght his answer said x is greater than or equal to -3 and x is less than or equal to 2

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Well yes -3<=x<=2 is the same thing as x<=2 and x>=-3. Putting the two separate is just easier to look at when you are wanting to graph it so you can use that arrow trick.

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

The answer is B, do you see why or do you need further explanation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes im seeing it now thank you. is it okay if i ask a few more questions ??

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Yeah that's fine
