Question

Select the correct answer.
Which number line represents the solution to |x - 5] <3?

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Answer 2

A.

Explanation:

since we are using the absolute value this means the result to be between 0 and 3.

the difference to C. is that the endpoints are not included (empty dots). that is correct, because the inequality uses the "<" sign. being equal to 3 is not valid.

but any real number higher than 2 and lower than 8 will provide a valid solution.

the higher or lower numbers used in B. and D. will not create anything between 0 and 3.
