Question

Solve and graph the absolute value inequality: |2x + 4| > 8. number line with open circles on negative 6 and 2, shading in between. number line with closed circles on negative 6 and 2, shading going in the opposite directions. number line with open circles on negative 6 and 2, shading going in the opposite directions. number line with open circles on negative 2 and 2, shading going in the opposite directions.

Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1) The solution of the absolute value is  (-∞,-6)∪ (2,∞)

Number line with open circles on negative 6 and 2, shading going in the opposite directions

Part 2) The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$\left|2x+4\right|>8$

we know that

The absolute value has two solutions  

step 1

Find the positive case

$+(2x+4)>8$

$2x>8-4$

$2x>4$

$x>2$

The solution is the interval ----> (2,∞)

All real numbers greater than 2

step 2

Find the negative case

$-(2x+4)>8$

Multiply by -1 both sides

$(2x+4)<-8$

$2x<-8-4$

$2x<-12$

$x< -6$

The solution is the interval ----> (-∞,-6)

All real numbers less than -6

therefore

The solution of the absolute value is

(-∞,-6)∪ (2,∞)

Number line with open circles on negative 6 and 2, shading going in the opposite directions

step 3
