Question
-2|x + 7|+11 > 5
solutions on the number line:
interval notation:
set builder notation:
Step1: Isolate the absolute - value term
Subtract 11 from both sides of the inequality $-2|x + 7|+11>5$.
$-2|x + 7|+11-11>5 - 11$
$-2|x + 7|>-6$
Step2: Solve for the absolute - value term
Divide both sides by - 2. Remember to reverse the inequality sign when dividing by a negative number.
$\frac{-2|x + 7|}{-2}<\frac{-6}{-2}$
$|x + 7|<3$
Step3: Rewrite the absolute - value inequality as a compound inequality
$-3 Subtract 7 from all parts of the compound inequality.Step4: Solve the compound inequality
$-3-7
