Question

What are the integer solutions of the inequality |x| < 3?

A.
–2, –1, 0, 1, and 2

B.
0, 1, 2, and 3

C.
0, 1, and 2

D.
–3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, and 3

Answer 1

you could try them and see if you want

Answer 2

since its absolute value, you're counting the spaces it takes to get from 0. (absolute value of -2 is 2, 5 is 5, -198056 is 198056, so in other words, absolute value is always positive. so this answer contains negate numbers. So A or D could work. However, the equality is saying that the absolute value of x is LESS than 3, so -3 and 3 cannot work. Therefore the answer is (A). Hope that somehow made sense :)
