|4x+3|£5
-3<2x-3£11
I have no idea what this symbol "£" means in these problem.
The symbol "£" mean "pound" (money) in some countries such as England.
But I think the symbol you're talking about is ≤ which means less than
or equal to.
|4x+3| ≤ 5
To solve that we write the |4x+3| as ±(4x+3)
±(4x+3) ≤ 5
and write as two separate inequalities one with + and one with -
+(4x+3) ≤ 5 -(4x+3) ≤ 5
4x+3 ≤ 5 -4x-3 ≤ 5
4x ≤ 2 -4x ≤ 5
x ≤ 2/4 x ≥ -4/5
x ≤ 1/2
Rewrite x ≥ -4/5 as -4/5 ≤ x and write ≤ 1/2 on the right:
Answer:
-4/5 ≤ x ≤ 1/2
----------------------------
-3 < 2x-3 ≤ 11 Add 3 to all three sides to solve for x in the middle:
+3 +3 +3
--------------
0 < 2x ≤ 13
Divide all three sides by 2
0 < x ≤ 13/2
