Chapter 1.7, Problem 87E
To determine

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

Expert Solution

x[12,32] .

### Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given inequality is 8|2x1|6 .

Concept used:

Properties of absolute value inequalities:

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

Calculation:

The given inequality can be expressed as

8|2x1|6{isolate the absolute value}|2x1|86|2x1|2

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

22x12{add 1 on both the sides}12x3divide  both sides by 2}12x32i.ex[12,32] .

Hence,the solution set is x[12,32] .

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