Math Problem Statement
Solve each inequality - graph the solution and give interval notation.
Solution
Let's solve the inequalities shown in the image.
1. Inequality:
- First, isolate the absolute value term: Add 9 to both sides: Divide by 9: This implies: The solution is the interval:
2. Inequality:
- Isolate the absolute value term: Add 3 to both sides: Divide by 5: This implies two cases: So, the solution is:
Interval Notation Summary:
- For , the interval notation is .
- For , the interval notation is .
