okay, you do the absolute value spilt for this one, you spilt it to
3-5x<13, and the other one is 3-5x>-13. you find out the answer, which would be x>-2 for the first one and x<16/5, you find the combination for these 2, and the final answer is -2

Ok, this has to have 2 answers. 3-5x<13 and 3-5x>-13. Just solve it like a regular equation from there.

ok solve it like a normal q with an = sign

absolute value is teh distence from 0 so it just means make everything positive

make the -5 +5 so its 3+5x

then -3 from both sides so its 5x<10

then divide 5 form both sides so its x <2

and thats ur answer





fyi this was rele easy considering im in 8th grade geometry, which means ive never taken algebra 2, only 1!!

|3 - 5x| < 13 subtract 3

-5x < 10 divide by -1

5x < 10 divide by 5

x < 2

and get the other answer:

|3 - 5x| < -13

-5x < -16
5x < 16
x < 16/5

3-5x<13

subtract 3 to get the variable alone on the left, but do it on both sides to keep the balance
-5x < 10
divide each side by -5 to find the variable.. same thing on each side..
x<-2
so u know that x is less then -2
~UR DONE~

|3 - 5x| < 13
-3+3-5x < 13-3
-5x < 10
x < 10/-5
x > -2

i think dats it
my teacher taught me dat

3-5 is -2 aand the absolute value of -2 is 2.... I2xI<13 divide by 2 13/2 is......x= 6.5............. 6.5<13 right?


Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally.....you must do what is inside the IxI first and absolute value is always POSITIVE!

/3-5x/ < 13
-3 -3
/-5x/ < 10
5x < 10
__ __
5 5
x < 2
Thats what I believe it is but I could be wrong.
