Question

Will fan and give medal! PLEASE HELP!

A pharmacy claims that the average medication costs $32 but it could differ as much as $8. Write and solve an absolute value inequality to determine the range of medication costs at this pharmacy.

|x − 32| ≥ 8; The medication costs range from $24 to $40

|x − 32| ≥ 8; The medications cost less than $24 or greater than $40.

|x − 32| ≤ 8; The medication costs range from $24 to $40

|x − 32| ≤8; The medications cost less than $24 or greater than $40.

Answer 1

Answer is C

Answer 2

Do you mind telling me how you know?

Answer 3

start with 32 in the middle, then add/subtract 8 from it

Answer 4

-8 <= 0 <= 8 ; and let x be the center -8 <= x <= 8

Answer 5

Oh ok thanks (:

Answer 6

you're wecome

Answer 7

Can you help me with a few more?

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

Which of the following is an equivalent form of the compound inequality −22 > −5x − 7 ≥ −3?

−5x − 7 < −22 and −5x − 7 ≥ −3

−5x − 7 > −22 and −5x − 7 ≥ −3

−5x > −22 and −7 ≥ −3

−5x − 7 < −22 and −5x − 7 ≤ −3

Answer 10

−22 > (−5x − 7) greater than or equal to −3 : −22 > −5x − 7 2: -5x - 7 greater than or equal to −3

Answer 11

look at A, and compare each part to the original question.

Answer 12

So what do you think the answer is??

Answer 13

This stuff really confuses me. Sorry /:

Answer 14

its ok

just switch the sign to the other side so you have -5x - 7 < -22

Answer 15

so what answer choice would you pick?

Answer 16

A or D right?

Answer 17

Yes, so the answer would be A :D

Answer 18

Ok. Thanks!
