Solve Absolute Value Inequalities

• n > 1 or n < -7
• n > -1 or n < -7
• -7 < n < -1
• no solution

Solve the absolute Value inequality and graph. 

• A

• B

• C

• D

| x - 2 | > 3
Is this an "and"  or an "or" problem?

• and

• or

What is the first step?

• Get the absolute value alone by dividing both sides by 5

• Drop the absolute value bars and add 7 and 5 together

• Get the absolute value alone by subtracting 5 from both sides

| -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

• add 8 to both sides

What is the correct first step?

• divide by 10

• multiply by 10

• make it two inequalities with an "or"

• make it two inequalities with and "and"

Solve.
|c + 4| < 5

• x < -9 or x > 1

• -9 < x < 1

• x < 9 or x > -1

• -1 < x < 9

Solve.
|y - 4| ≥ 8

• y ≤ -4 or y ≥ 12

• -4 ≤ y ≤ -12

• y ≤ 4 or y ≥ -12

• -12 ≤ x ≤ 4

Solve.
|y - 1| ≤ 6

• -7 ≤ y ≤ 5

• y ≤ -7 or y ≥ 5

• -5 ≤ y ≤ 7

• y ≤ -5 or y ≥ 7

Solve.
|5x + 7| < 22

• x < -5 ⅘ or x > 3

• -5 ⅘ < x < 3

• -3 < x < 5 ⅘

• x < -3 or x > 5 ⅘
