Question 765948: I have an absolute value inequality that I have trouble with.

How do I do this with the -2? I have all other problems done, and I know what the answer is (should be true for all numbers, as the left side of the inequality is always negative), but I cannot show it mathematically. Can you please show me how to get the solution?

I must agree. for all x by definition, so for all x. , obviously, so is true for all x. Perhaps you read the problem wrong, or your teacher is pulling a prank?
