Question

Solve the absolute value inequalty ⎜3x + 5⎟≤ - 2 a No Solution b - 2 ≤ x ≤ - 7 c All real numbers d -7/3 ≤ x ≤ -3/7

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, absolute value is always POSITIVE ⇒ the given inequality has No Solution!!

Just to show you how to solve this kind of problems:

1). If (3x + 5) ≥ 0, then 3x + 5 ≤ - 2

3x ≤ - 5 - 2

3x ≤ - 7

x ≤ -
`(7)/(3)`

2). If (3x + 5) < 0, then - (3x + 5) ≤ - 2

3x + 5 ≥ 2

3x ≥ - 3

x ≥ - 1

x ∈ ∅
