9. CHALLENGE QUESTION
The goal for this question is to solve an inequality with multiplication inside the absolute value,
instead of just addition or subtraction.
(a) Remember that both |9| = 9 and | − 9| = 9. Use this to determine all values of x such
that |2x − 2| = 9 and label them on a number line.
(b) Determine all values of x such that |2x − 2| < 9 and label them on a number line. Part
(a) should help with this.
(c) Use the same steps/ideas from part (a) and (b) to determine all values of x such that
|4x + 8| > 12.
