Math Problem Statement

| 4m-4|<36

Solution

We are given the inequality:

4m4<36|4m - 4| < 36

To solve this absolute value inequality, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Remove the absolute value

The absolute value inequality 4m4<36|4m - 4| < 36 means that:

36<4m4<36-36 < 4m - 4 < 36

Step 2: Solve the inequality for mm

First, add 4 to all parts of the inequality:

36+4<4m<36+4-36 + 4 < 4m < 36 + 4

32<4m<40-32 < 4m < 40

Now, divide the entire inequality by 4:

324<m<404\frac{-32}{4} < m < \frac{40}{4}

8<m<10-8 < m < 10

Final solution:

The solution to the inequality is:

m(8,10)m \in (-8, 10)

This means mm must lie between 8-8 and 1010, not including the endpoints.
