Question

Compare the process of solving

|x - 11 + 1 < 15 to that of solving
|x - 11 + 1 > 15.

Answer 1

I have solved them but I don't know what to o next

Explanation:

1) lx- 11+ 1< 15

+11 on both sides

lx+ 1< 26

-1 on both sides

lx< 25

2) lx-11+1>15

+11 on both sides

lx+1>26

-1 on both sides

lx> 25

Answer 2

Both absolute values would need to be isolated first.

You would need to write a compound inequality for each.

Both compound inequalities would compare

x – 1 to –15 and 15.

The inequality with “<” would use an “and” statement, while the “>” would use an “or” statement.
