[02.06]
Solve and graph the absolute value inequality: (2x + 1/ s 5. (1 point)

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

We are given with the inequality |2x + 1| ≤ 5 and asked to solve the equation. In this case, we take first the positive side, that is 2x + 1 ≤ 5. this is equal to 2x ≤ 4 or x ≤ 2. For the negative side, the equality is -5 ≤ 2x + 1. This is equal to -6 ≤ 2x or -3 ≤ x. Hence the solution is -3 ≤ x ≤ 2. The answer is B. closed dots on -3 and 2 with shading in between. The equal in ≤ means closed dots.
