Math Problem Statement
Solve the following absolute value inequality. StartAbsoluteValue 14 x EndAbsoluteValueless than or equals7
Solution
The given absolute value inequality is:
To solve this, we need to consider the definition of absolute value. The inequality can be rewritten as:
In this case, and , so we have:
Next, we solve for by dividing all parts of the inequality by 14:
Simplifying this, we get:
So, the solution to the inequality is:
This means that can be any value between and , inclusive.
