@jdoe0001 Hate to bother you again. Last one if you can help

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\large {|2x - 6| \le 10 \\ \quad \\\implies \begin{cases} +(2x-6)\le 10\to 2x-6\le 10\to 2x\le 16\to x\le \frac{\cancel{ 16 }}{\cancel{ 2 }} \\ \quad \\ -(2x-6){\color{red}{ \le}} 10\to 2x-6{\color{red}{ \ge }}10\to 2x\ge 16\to x\ge \frac{\cancel{ 16 }}{\cancel{ 2 }} \end{cases} }\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm forgo to change the 10 to -10 so one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem:)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\large { |2x - 6| \le 10 \\ \quad \\ \begin{cases} +(2x-6)\le 10\to 2x-6\le 10\to 2x\le 16\to x\le \frac{\cancel{ 16 }}{\cancel{ 2 }} \\ \quad \\ -(2x-6){\color{red}{ \le}} 10\to 2x-6{\color{red}{ \ge }}-10\to 2x\ge -4\to x\ge \frac{\cancel{ -4 }}{\cancel{ 2 }} \end{cases} }\)

so what i got from those two is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one second..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im trying to press the draw button but theres an ad blocking it urghh

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hehe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so im going to say A?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

is the yellow the empty part? or the part for "x" that's taking?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yellow? :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the lines are drawn in the blue :)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ohh hmmm

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so... what did you get for "x" anyway?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ermm -2 i believe looking back (i shouldve kept the page i was working on)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

eheh

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\large { |2x - 6| \le 10 \\ \quad \\ \begin{cases} +(2x-6)\le 10\to 2x-6\le 10\to 2x\le 16\to x\le \frac{\cancel{ 16 }}{\cancel{ 2 }} \\ \quad \\ -(2x-6){\color{red}{ \le}} 10\to 2x-6{\color{red}{ \ge }}-10\to 2x\ge -4\to x\ge \frac{\cancel{ -4 }}{\cancel{ 2 }} \end{cases}\\ \quad \\ \implies \begin{cases} x\le 8\\ x\ge -4 \end{cases}\implies -4\le x \le 8 }\) notice is a \(\Large \le \ and\ \ge\ thus the number are included, thus is a solid circle, not a hollow one |dw:1413933874352:dw|

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm notice is a \(\Large \le \ and\ \ge\) thus the number are included, thus is a solid circle, not a hollow one

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

wooops hmmm I meant to put a -2 there any

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm so A would be correct

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\large { |2x - 6| \le 10 \\ \quad \\ \begin{cases} +(2x-6)\le 10\to 2x-6\le 10\to 2x\le 16\to x\le \frac{\cancel{ 16 }}{\cancel{ 2 }} \\ \quad \\ -(2x-6){\color{red}{ \le}} 10\to 2x-6{\color{red}{ \ge }}-10\to 2x\ge -4\to x\ge \frac{\cancel{ -4 }}{\cancel{ 2 }} \end{cases} \\ \quad \\ \implies \begin{cases} x\le 8\\ x\ge -2 \end{cases}\implies -2\le x \le 8 }\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

if the blue means area taken by "x", yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright, thank you bunches for all you're help!
