Question 59194: I am having problems figuring out what the absolute value is for this problem: Solve by first writing the inequality in the form absolute value of w > a, where a>0, 2/3 absolute value x-4+4>9-1/2 absolute value of x-4. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2/3 absolute value x-4+4>9-1/2 absolute value of x-4.
----------------
(2/3)|x-4|+4 > 9-(1/2)|x-4|
(2/3)|x-4| > 5-(1/2)|x-4|
[2/3 + 1/2]|x-4| >5
(7/6)|x-4| > 5
[x-4| > 30/7
x-4 > 30/7 or x-4 < -30/7
x>58/7 or x<-2/7
