Solve the compound inequality |3x-9|≤15 and |2x-3|≥5. Give answer in interval notation.

The solution of |3x-9|≤15 is [-2;8] and the solution |2x-3|≥5 of is  (-∞,2] ∪ [8,∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving absolute value inequalities, there are two cases to consider.

Case 1: The expression within the absolute value symbols is positive.

Case 2: The expression within the absolute value symbols is negative.

The solution is the intersection of the solutions of these two cases.

In other words, for any real numbers a and b,

So, being |3x-9|≤15

Solving: 3x-9 ≤ 15

3x ≤15 + 9

3x ≤24

x ≤24÷3

x≤8

or 3x-9 ≥ -15

3x ≥-15 +9

3x ≥-6

x ≥ (-6)÷3

x ≥ -2

The solution is made up of all the intervals that make the inequality true. Expressing the solution as an interval: [-2;8]

So, being |2x-3|≥5

Solving: 2x-3 ≥ 5

2x ≥ 5 + 3

2x ≥8

x ≥8÷2

x≥8

or 2x-3 ≤ -5

2x ≤-5 +3

2x ≤-2

x ≤ (-2)÷2

x ≤ -2

Expressing the solution as an interval: (-∞,2] ∪ [8,∞)
