document.write( "Question 805756: i need help on absolute values please. this is what i have tried so far on my problems: (1/2)|2w-1|-3>1
\n" ); document.write( "i added 3 to the 1 to get 4 then i multiplied one have by its reciprocal to its self and 4 to get 8. i added one to the 8 to get 9 divided by two. \r

(1/2)|2w-1|-3>1
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F2%29%2Aabs%282w-1%29-3%3E1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Handle the absolute value function as a variable. Solve for it:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"abs%282w-1%29%3E2%281%2B3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"abs%282w-1%29%3E8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve based on each of the two conditions:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The argument is positive or zero, \"2w-1%3E=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"2w-1%3E8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2w%3E8%2B1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2w%3E9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"w%3E9%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The argument may be negative, \"2w-1%3C0\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"abs%282w-1%29=-%282w-1%29=1-2w\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"1-2w%3E8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2w%3E8%2B1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2w%3E9\"
\n" ); document.write( "Next step requires care;
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2w%28-1%2F2%29%3C9%2A%28-1%2F2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"w%3C-9%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Combine the two results to complete the answer.
