text  Solve:  end text vertical line 2 x minus 3 vertical line less or equal than 12

hintHint:

|x| is known as the absolute value of x. It is the non-negative value of x irrespective of its sign. The value of absolute value of x is given by
vertical line x vertical line equals open curly brackets table attributes columnalign right left right left right left right left right left right left columnspacing 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em end attributes row cell negative x comma x less than 0 end cell row cell x comma x greater or equal than 0 end cell end table close
First, we solve this inequality by considering the two cases.

The correct answer is: Combining the above two solutions, we get the solution -4.5 ≤ x ≤ 7.5


    Step by step solution:
    The given inequality is

    vertical line 2 x minus 3 vertical line less or equal than 12
    We use the definition of vertical line x vertical line comma which is

    vertical line x vertical line equals open curly brackets table attributes columnalign right left right left right left right left right left right left columnspacing 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em end attributes row cell negative x comma x less than 0 end cell row cell x comma x greater or equal than 0 end cell end table close

    For, 2 x minus 3 greater or equal than 0,
    We have

     vertical line 2 x minus 3 vertical line equals negative left parenthesis 2 x minus 3 right parenthesis less or equal than 12
    Multiplying  on both sides, we have

     2 x minus 3 greater or equal than negative 12
    Adding 3 on both sides, we get

     2 x greater or equal than negative 12 plus 3

    Or

    2 x greater or equal than negative 9
    Dividing by 2 throughout, we get

    x greater or equal than negative 4.5

    For,2 x minus 3 greater or equal than 0 ,
    We have

    vertical line 2 x minus 3 vertical line equals 2 x minus 3 less or equal than 12
    Adding 3 on both sides, we have

    2 x less or equal than 12 plus 3

    Or

    2 x less or equal than 15
    Dividing by 2 throughout, we get

    x less or equal than 7.5
    Combining the above two solutions, we get the solution

    negative 4.5 less or equal than x less or equal than 7.5

    The given inequality contains only one variable. So, the graph is plotted on one dimension, which is the real line. Geometrically, the absolute value of a number may be considered as its distance from zero regardless of its direction. The symbol |.| is pronounced as ‘modulus’. We read |x| as ‘modulus of x’ or ‘mod x’.
