Question

Solve and graph the absolute value inequality: |2x + 4| > 14.

Answer 1

Steps
1. so you have two equations which are 2x + 4 >14 or 2x + 4 > -14
2. so we want to leave 2x alone, so cancel +4 by doing the opposite
3. Then you subtract 4 from 4 and 4 from 14 = 10
4. Then isolate x by doing the opposite which is division
5. 2x/2 > 10/2 = which is your answer
hope this helped :D

Answer 2

First, I notice you could simplify this absolute value problem by dividing everything by 2. You don't have to do this, but why not give it a try?

Answer 3

i alredy solved

Answer 4

I'm confused about graphing

Answer 5

good for you. Be certain to check your answer(s).
What would you like to know about graphing an absolute value function?

Answer 6

when i solved i got |x+2|>7 (x>5) but I'm confused on how to graph it @mathmale

Answer 8

@superhelp101 can you help with the graphing ? I'm confused

Answer 9

on a number line

Answer 10

I'm confused about open and closed and thank you @superhelp101

Answer 11

So if it's open then it's less than or more than. If closed it's less than or equal to, or more than or equal to

Answer 12

if there is an equal sign in the problem, use a closed circle
no equal sign means open circle
< less then means shaded to the left
> greater then means shaded to the right
or just shade the way the inequality sign is pointing

Answer 13

thank you guys now i understand how to graph @superhelp101 @texaschic101

Answer 14

happy to help :)

Answer 15

Aw, no problem! :))
