Absolute Value Inequalities Practice

Solve:  |x + 3| < 8

• x > 5 or x < -11
• -11 < x < 5

• x > 11 or x < -5

• 5 < x < 11

Solve:
 |x + 3| > 8

• x > 5 or x < -11

• -11 < x < 5

• x > 11 or x < -5

• -5 < x < 11

Solve:  |x - 3| < 8

• x > 5 or x < -11

• -11 < x < 5

• x > 11 or x < -5

• -5 < x < 11

Solve:  |x - 3| > 8

• x > 5 or x < -11

• -11 < x < 5

• x > 11 or x < -5

• -5 < x < 11

| -8x | < 8

What is the correct first step?

• separate into two inequalities with an "and"

• separate into two inequalities with an "or"

• divide both sides by -8

What is the first step in solving

|x + 4| - 8 > 2

• Subtract 2 on both sides

• Set up two inequalities

• Divide 8 on both sides

• Add 8 on both sides

Describe the first step in solving the absolute value inequality

• Add 5 on both sides

• Divide both sides by -5

• Set up two inequalities

• no solution

Solve:  |2x + 1| ≤ 19

• x ≥ 9 or x ≤ -10

• -10 ≤ x ≤ 9

• x ≥ 10 or x ≤ -9

• -9 ≤ x ≤ 10

Solve:  |2x - 1| ≥ 19

• x ≥ 9 or x ≤ -10

• -10 ≤ x ≤ 9

• x ≥ 10 or x ≤ -9

• -9 ≤ x ≤ 10

Solve:  |2x - 1| ≤ 19

• x ≥ 9 or x ≤ -10

• -10 ≤ x ≤ 9

• x ≥ 10 or x ≤ -9

• -9 ≤ x ≤ 10
