Answer:

Explanation:

2 ≤ |x| - 8 remember |?| just means it changes it to a positive number. so it doesn't change anything right now so let's just get rid of it y'know?.

2 ≤ x - 8 Remember, what you do to one side you do to the other. and also remember to do PEMDAS backwards!!

SADMEP, subtraction first!

2 ≤ x - 8

+8 +8

10 ≤ x

(you can flip it to make it easier to read)

x ≥ 10

now to put it on a number line
