Math Problem Statement
|4x - 2| ≤ 10
Solution
The inequality in the image is:
This is an absolute value inequality, which can be solved in two cases:
- (or equivalently )
Let's solve each case:
Case 1:
Add 2 to both sides: Now, divide both sides by 4:
Case 2:
Add 2 to both sides: Now, divide both sides by 4:
Combined solution:
The solution to the inequality is:
This means the values of lie between and , inclusive.
