Question 59636: Solve the following

a) | 2x - 9 | < 3
b) | 3x - 4 | < -13

c) | 2x - 2 | = | x + 1 |

d) Determine which of the following points are solutions to the system

y > -2x + 1
y < 3x + 5 (-3, 2), (-1, 5), (3, 6)

Solve the following
:
a) |2x-9|<3





b) |3x-4|<-13
No solution |x| cannot be less than 0.

c) |2x-2|=|x+1|
Square both sides
Set = to 0

Factor



3x-1=0 and x-3=0
3x-1+1=0+1 and x-3+3=0+3
3x=1 and x=3
3x/3=1/3 and x=3
x=1/3 and x=3
:
d) Determine which of the following points are solutions to the system


(-3, 2), (-1, 5), (3, 6)
For (-3,2)


2 is not greater than 7 (-3,2) is not a solution.
:
For (-1,5)


It's true for the first equation, check the second.


5 is not less than 2 (-1,5) is not a solution of the system.
:
For (3,6)


It's true for the first equation, check the second.


It's true for the second also, therefore (3,6) is a solution to the system.
Happy Calculating!!!
