| ABSOLUTE
VALUE |
|
Let’s do one more absolute
value problem.
Solve for x when |-2x – 8| > 4.
Solution: Step 1: Recall the definition of absolute
value of x (Rollover the Definition button to the
right to review the absolute value definition).
With
the absolute value definition in mind, do the following:
-4 > |-2x – 8| > 4
But, that is not correct because -4 is
not greater than 4. That should raise a flag. But let’s think, that
process is correct so something must be missing. What could
be missing?
The answer is, “or” is missing!
