modulus requires to positive and negative solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my answers are a and b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like |x|<1 means x has solutions x<1 and x<-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep neat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When we have absolute values, we get two solutions, so we have \[-(2x-8)<4 ~~~~\text{and}~~~~(2x-8)<4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a and c yeah they did something funny there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

follow @iambatman solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused af

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha, \[-(2x-8)<4 \] is also the same as \[2x-8>-4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you divide by a negative we usually switch the sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perhaps iambatman will give you a clearer explanation
