Question

Solve: |x - 3| < 8
A. -8 < x < 11
B. x < -5 and x > 11
C. x < 8
D. -5 < x < 11

Answer 1

ok so same thing here, make your two equations x-3 <8 and x-3>-8 add 3 to both sides for each equation and you get x<11 and x>-5 so D is your answer

Answer 2

that makes alot of sense thank you again i really appreciate it ;)

Answer 3

yup sure thing :) remember though that when you make your two equations, you have to flip the <> sign for the second one because youre dealing with the negative value of the other side of the absolute value

Answer 4

okay i havent been doing that haha thanks

Answer 5
