## jessiegonzales one year ago MEDAL!!! Solve the inequality. Graph the solution. 8. lx+3/4l <2

1. jessiegonzales

A. x<-1 or x>-1/2 B. -5/32<x<5/32 C. -1<X<-1/2 D. X<-5/32 OR X>5/32

@nincompoop

it s C

4. anonymous

if you want details just tell me and i ll send

$\left| x+\frac{ 3 }{ 4 } \right|<2$ means (x + 3/4) is between -2 and 2, so you need to solve this compound inequality. $-2<x+\frac{ 3 }{ 4}<2$

7. anonymous

Do you know how to get x by itself in the middle?

8. jessiegonzales

divide?

9. anonymous

3/4 is added to x, so you need to subtract |dw:1434603044455:dw|

10. jessiegonzales

ok

11. jessiegonzales

im lost

12. anonymous

what don't you understand?

13. jessiegonzales

so now its-2<x+<2

14. anonymous

no, you have to subtract 3/4 from the -2 and 2 as well. Anything you do to one side of an equation/inequality, you have to do it to all sides. |dw:1434603556453:dw|

15. anonymous

|dw:1434603661722:dw|

16. jessiegonzales

i see but how do i subtract a whole number by a fraction

17. anonymous

common denominator

18. anonymous

how would you write 2 with a denominator of 4?

19. jessiegonzales

20. anonymous

its c

21. anonymous

22. anonymous

you forget to divide by 8

23. anonymous

i cant send you details here i am so sorry

24. anonymous

oh. I didn't realize that was a part of the problem. I thought it was the problem number.

25. anonymous

next time focus on the data before answering people questions

26. anonymous

It's not a matter of focusing. That's bad syntax. That's why I make a point to retype the problem. You'd think at some point she'd say it was missing an 8
