Question 1108315: I need help please. The question says solve and check the inequality, if possible. |8m+4|<12..I have the following. Is is correct that I need to find two solutions.
8m+4>-12 8m+4<12
8m+4-4>-12-4 8m+4-4<12-4
8m/8>-16/8 8m<8
m>-2 8m/8<8/8
m<1
check:
8m+4>-12 check:
8(2)+4>-12 8m+4<12
16+4>-12 8(1)+4<12
20>-12 12<12
correct not correct
Am I even close to doing this correctly? Thank you
8m + 4 > -12 8m + 4 < 12
8m + 4 - 4 >-12-4 8m + 4 - 4 < 12-4
8m/8 > -16/8 8m < 8
m > -2 8m/8 < 8/8
m < 1
Your solution was CORRECT in both cases.
Your check was correct Your check was WRONG
in this case. in this case
Here you should substitute the value < 1 ("less than 1").
You substituted 1 ("one") instead, which is wrong.
