Question 337765: solve and graph absolute value inequality. write solution in interval notation
/8x-1/-1>2

Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Start with the given inequality


Add 1 to both sides.


Break up the absolute value (remember, if you have , then or )

or Break up the absolute value inequality using the given rule




Now lets focus on the first inequality


Start with the given inequality


Add 1 to both sides


Combine like terms on the right side


Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x



Reduce


Now lets focus on the second inequality


Start with the given inequality


Add 1 to both sides


Combine like terms on the right side


Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x



Reduce

Answer:

So our answer is

or


which looks like this in interval notation





if you wanted to graph the solution set, you would get

Graph of the solution set in blue and the excluded values represented by open circles
