Please help!!!!

Answer 1

x>−6 and x<7

Explanation:

Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.

|−2x+1|<13

Solve Absolute Value.

|−2x+1|<13

We know−2x+1<13and−2x+1>−13

−2x+1<13(Condition 1)

−2x+1−1<13−1(Subtract 1 from both sides)

−2x<12

−2x

−2

<

12

−2

(Divide both sides by -2)

x>−6

−2x+1>−13(Condition 2)

−2x+1−1>−13−1(Subtract 1 from both sides)

−2x>−14

−2x

−2

>

−14

−2

(Divide both sides by -2)

x<7

Answer:

x>−6 and x<7
