Question

Solve: |y + 8| ≥ 3

Answer 1

subtract 8 from both sides.
y is greater than or equal to -5

Answer 2

\[\left| x+a \right|\ge b,x+a \le -b~and~x+a \ge b\]

Answer 3

You break it into two equations.

\(y + 8 \ge 3\)

and

\(-y - 8 \ge 3\)

Answer 4

Can you solve both of those? @RainbowsxD

Answer 5

\[y+8\ge 3\] or \(y+8\leq -3\)

Answer 6

Misty, the 3 wasn't in absolute value symbols so it wouldn't be 3 or -3. it would be -y - 8 or y + 8.
