Well, I am going to answer anyway.
5xβ(6βx) | Distribute the nagative sign to all terms inside of the parentheses. |
5xβ6+x | Combine any like terms. |
6xβ6 | That's about all you can do. You can factor out a 6, if you'd like. |
6(xβ1) | You could also leave it like it was above. |
Absolute value inequalities are not that simple! You can't simply just ignore them.
|0.7x+5|>6.7 | The absolute value always splits your answer into the positive and negative answer. | ||
| Now that the absolute value has been accounted for, we should now solve for x in both equations. | ||
| Dividing by -1 causes a flipflop of the inequality sign. | ||
| Subtract 50 on both sides. | ||
| Divide by 7 on both sides. | ||

This is your answer. Since the greater than symbol will cause an "or" statement, we know that solutions are the following:
x>177orx<β1177
