Solve for w.|w| - 4 < 3Write a compound inequality like 1 < x < 3 or like x < 1 or x > 3. Use integers, proper fractions, or improper fractions in simplest form.______
Q. Solve for w.∣w∣−4<3Write a compound inequality like 1<x<3 or like x<1 or x>3. Use integers, proper fractions, or improper fractions in simplest form.______
Addition to isolate absolute value: We have the inequality |w| - 4 < 3. Let's isolate the absolute value term ∣w∣ by adding 4 to both sides of the inequality.|w| - 4 + 4 < 3 + 4|w| < 7
Split into two inequalities: The inequality |w| < 7 means that w is less than 7 units away from 0 on the number line. This can be split into two separate inequalities: w < 7 and -w < 7.
Multiplication to reverse inequality: The inequality -w < 7 can be multiplied by −1 to get w > -7. Remember that multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number reverses the inequality sign.-w < 7(-1)(-w) > (-1)(7)w > -7
Combining into compound inequality: Now we have two inequalities: w < 7 and w > -7. These can be combined into a compound inequality.-7 < w < 7
