3⎜x + 4⎟ + 2 ≥ 5

plS

Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

3×|x + 4| + 2 >= 5

you handle this basically like an equation :

3×|x + 4| >= 3

|x + 4| >= 1

because of the absolute value we have 2 solutions for that :

x + 4 = 1

and

x + 4 = -1

as in both cases the absolute value turns the result into 1.

so,

x + 4 = 1

x = -3

x + 4 = -1

x = -5

so, to satisfy the inequality

x >= -3 or x <= -5

please consider : if the inequality would have been > instead of >=, we would have had to use > and < for the solution.
