1. Describe two ways you can solve an open sentence involving absolute value.
2. Explain the difference in the solutioin for |x + 7| > 4 and the solution for |x + 7| < 4.
3. If x < 0 and |x| = n, describe n in terms of x.
4. You Decide. Jamila's teacher said they should work out each problem and test points to determine whether their solutions are correct. Jamila thinks that she knows the solutions for problems like |w + 5| <0, where the absolute value quantity is always less than 0, without testing points. Is she correct? Why or why not? (Worth 2 points)
Solve each open sentence. Then graph the solution set.
5. |m|
5
6. |n| < 6
7. |r + 3| < 6
8. |8 - t| 3
