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|x3|<12

 

First, divide both sides by 3 to get |x3|<4. Now we have that x3<4 or that x3>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|8x4|+1<15

 

Subtract 1 from both sides to get 2|8x4|<16. Then, divide by 2 on both sides to get |8x4|>8. Now, we can get that 8x4>8 and 8x4<8. By simplifying both inequalities, we get (,12)(32,)
