Question 511115: 2x - abs. value ( x + 4)> 8
- abs. value ( x + 4)> 8 - 2x
abs. value (x + 4) < -8 + 2x
Inequality 1: (x + 4) < -8 + 2x
Inequality 2: (x + 4) > 8 - 2x
x < 12 or x > 4/3
should'nt my arrows on the graph go away from each other when I graph it? It They actually do the opposite Answer by lwsshak3(11628) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2x - abs. value ( x + 4)> 8
2x -|x + 4|> 8
solve for 2 conditions
for (x+4)>0
2x-x-4>8
x>12
..
for (x+4)<0
2x+x+4>8
3x>4
x>4/3
..
solution:
x>12 (where both solutions intersect or overlap)
number line
<.......4/3........(12=====>
