solve for x:
a) -2(x+4) ≥ -8
b) 3|x+1| + 4 = 13
these need to be graphed on a number line, but i know how to do that, just don't know how to get to the answers i have
c) -2x - 3 > 7
d) 1 < 3x - 2 ≤ x+4
e) |1-2x | < 7
and this is a graph, again i know how to plot
y > -1
y ≥ 2x - 3
thanks :)

a) -2(x+4) ≥ -8
multiply by -1/2 (remember the greater than becomes a less than)
x+4 <= 4
add -4 to both sides (no change with addition)
x<=0
b. 3|x+1| + 4 = 13
add -4 to both sides
3|x+1|=9
multiply by 1/3
|x+1|=3
x+1=3 or x+1=-3
add -1
x=2 or x=-4
c) -2x - 3 > 7
add 3 to both sides
-2x>10
multiply by -1/2 (change direction)
x<-5
d) 1 < 3x - 2 ≤ x+4
treat this like 2 problems. leave the 1< alone for right now
3x-2<=x+4
add 2 to both sides
3x<=x+6
add -x to both sides
2x<=6
multiply by 1/2
x<=3
now bring back the other piece
1
e) |1-2x | < 7
divide by 2
|1/2 - x|<7/2
rearrange the left side since |a-b|=|b-a|
|x-1/2|<7/2
-6/2
multiply by -1/2 (remember the greater than becomes a less than)
x+4 <= 4
add -4 to both sides (no change with addition)
x<=0
b. 3|x+1| + 4 = 13
add -4 to both sides
3|x+1|=9
multiply by 1/3
|x+1|=3
x+1=3 or x+1=-3
add -1
x=2 or x=-4
c) -2x - 3 > 7
add 3 to both sides
-2x>10
multiply by -1/2 (change direction)
x<-5
d) 1 < 3x - 2 ≤ x+4
treat this like 2 problems. leave the 1< alone for right now
3x-2<=x+4
add 2 to both sides
3x<=x+6
add -x to both sides
2x<=6
multiply by 1/2
x<=3
now bring back the other piece
1
e) |1-2x | < 7
divide by 2
|1/2 - x|<7/2
rearrange the left side since |a-b|=|b-a|
|x-1/2|<7/2
-6/2
