abs%282t%2B5%29%3C7 Start with the given inequality


Break up the absolute value (remember, if you have abs%28x%29%3C+a, then x+%3E+-a and x+%3C+a)

2t%2B5+%3E+-7 and 2t%2B5+%3C+7 Break up the absolute value inequality using the given rule


-7+%3C+2t%2B5+%3C+7 Combine the two inequalities to get a compound inequality



-12+%3C+2t+%3C+2 Subtract 5 from all sides


-6+%3C+t+%3C+1 Divide all sides by 2 to isolate t



----------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is

-6+%3C+t+%3C+1



which looks like this in interval notation





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

abs%28w-5%29%3E3 Start with the given inequality


Break up the absolute value (remember, if you have abs%28x%29%3E+a, then x+%3C+-a or x+%3E+a)

w-5+%3C+-3 or w-5+%3E+3 Break up the absolute value inequality using the given rule




Now lets focus on the first inequality w-5+%3C+-3


w-5%3C-3 Start with the given inequality


w%3C-3%2B5Add 5 to both sides


w%3C2 Combine like terms on the right side


Now lets focus on the second inequality w-5+%3E+3


w-5%3E3 Start with the given inequality


w%3E3%2B5Add 5 to both sides


w%3E8 Combine like terms on the right side



----------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is

w+%3C+2 or w+%3E+8


which looks like this in interval notation
