OpenStudy (emmily_cool):

lets solve this one first

OpenStudy (emmily_cool):

wich is more -10 or 10 remember that negatives are always less than positive numbers

OpenStudy (kianna0098):

10

OpenStudy (emmily_cool):

ok so now what does x equal

OpenStudy (kianna0098):

i'm not good at this

OpenStudy (emmily_cool):

x would have to be a number between 1 and 9 because it would have to be more than -10 but less than 10 do u know what i mean

OpenStudy (welshfella):

2x - 9 can be positive or negative The mod signs make it positive so we can write 2x - 9 < 11 and 2x - 9 < -11 solve these 2 inequalities

OpenStudy (welshfella):

oooppsss sorry the second one is 2x - 9 > -11

OpenStudy (welshfella):

can you solve these?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

A not correct
