solve |2x+9|<25

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

\(|a|<b \iff -b<a<b\)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

so you have \(-25<2x+9<25 \iff -16<2x<34\) can you complete it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be -17<x<8

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

-16<2x<34 divide everything by 2 what do you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-8<x<17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it right

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when i typed this in mathway the 8 was positive and the 17 negative

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

sorry I added 9 \(|2x+9|<25\iff -25<2x+9<25 \iff -34<2x<16 \iff\\ -17<x<8\)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
