I need help to solve each inequality
6. 3| x - 3 | < 12
7. 5| 2x + 8 | + 4 < 9
8. -2| 8x - 4 | + 1 < -15
6. 3|x−3|<12
First, divide both sides by 3 to get |x−3|<4. Now we have that x−3<4 or that x−3>−4. By solving each one, we get x<7 or x>−1. This gives us (−1,7).
7. 5|2x+8|+4<9
First, subtract 4 from both sides to get 5|2x+8|<5. Then, we can divide by 5 on both sides to get |2x+8|<1. Now, we have −1<2x+8<1. By subtracting 8 on both sides then dividing by 2, we get x>−92 and x<−72 so we have (−92,−72).
8. −2|8x−4|+1<−15
Subtract 1 from both sides to get −2|8x−4|<−16. Then, divide by −2 on both sides to get |8x−4|>8. Now, we can get that 8x−4>8 and 8x−4<−8. By simplifying both inequalities, we get (−∞,−12)∪(32,∞).
