Chapter 1.7, Problem 86E
To determine

## To solve: the absolute value inequality. Express the solution using interval notation and graph the solution set.

Expert Solution

x(,3][1,) .

### Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given inequality is 3|2x+4|1 .

Concept used:

Properties of absolute value inequalities:

 Inequality Equivalent form Graph |x|c x<−c or c

Calculation:

The given inequalitycan be expressed as

3|2x+4|1{isolate the absolute value}|2x+4|31|2x+4|2

According to the properties of absolute value inequalities, the given inequality is expressed as

2x+42or2x+42{subtract both sides by 4}2x2or2x6{divide both sides by 2}x1orx3i.ex(,3][1,)

Hence,the solution set is x(,3][1,) .

The solution set of the inequality graphed on the number line.
