In Exercises 59–94, solve each absolute value inequality. $$ \left|2-\frac{x}{2}\right|-1 \leq 1 $$
Explaining the Concepts. Explain why \(|x|<-4\) has no solution.
Explaining the Concepts. Describe ways in which solving a linear inequality is different than solving a linear equation.
Will help you prepare for the material covered in the first section of the next chapter. Here are two sets of ordered pairs: $$ \begin{aligned} &\text { set } 1:\\{(1,5),(2,5)\\}\\\ &\operatorname{set} 2:\\{(5,1),(5,2)\\} \end{aligned} $$ In which set is each x@coordinate paired with only one y@coordinate?
In Exercises 122–133, use the strategy for solving word problems, modeling the verbal conditions of the problem with a linear inequality. The toll to a bridge is 3.00 dollar. A three-month pass costs 7.50 dollar and reduces the toll to 0.50 dollar. A six-month pass costs $30 and permits crossing the bridge for no additional fee. How many crossings per three-month period does it take for the three-month pass to be the best deal?
