Question

solve the inequality
|2x+12|>24

Answer 1

really need help

Answer 2

|2x+12|>24
We know eithe r2x+12>24 or 2x+12<−24
2x+12>24(Possibility 1)
2x+12−12>24−12(Subtract 12 from both sides)
2x>12
Divide both sides by 2 what would x equal?

Answer 3

12/2=?

Answer 4

6

Answer 5

Good so
x=6
2nd one..
2x+12<−24(Possibility 2)
2x+12−12<−24−12(Subtract 12 from both sides)
2x<−36
-36/2=?

Answer 6

-18

Answer 7

good so our 2 answers are x=6 and x=-18

Answer 8

yes but is it
a. x<-18 or x>6
b. x>-18 or x<6

Answer 9

It would be b because we divided by a negative (for the first one) we would flip the sign
