Question 694564: Solve: |11x + 3| ≤ 25
This is how I tried to solve it.
|11x + 3| ≤ 25
|11 x 2 + 3| ≤ 25
|22 + 3| ≤ 25
|25| = 25
Is that correct?
Thank you very much

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve: |11x + 3| ≤ 25
----------------
-25 <= (11x+3) <= 25
------
Subtract 3 along the line:
-28 <= 11x <= 22
----
Divide by 11 along the line:
-28/11 <= x <= 2
