Math Problem Statement
solve -3|x + 3| > -2. give your answer in interval notation. enter one if the inequality does not have a solution
Solution
To solve the inequality , follow these steps:
Step 1: Isolate the absolute value
First, divide both sides of the inequality by . Remember to flip the inequality sign since you are dividing by a negative number:
This simplifies to:
Step 2: Solve the inequality
The expression implies that the quantity inside the absolute value is within units of 0. Therefore, you can write two inequalities:
Step 3: Isolate in the compound inequality
Subtract 3 from all parts of the inequality:
Now, simplify both sides:
Step 4: Write the solution in interval notation
The solution to the inequality is:
This interval represents all values that satisfy the inequality.
