Q. Solve 5x+31213 5|x+3|-12 \leq 13 .\newline(A) There are no solutions.\newline(B) 2x2 -2 \leq x \leq 2 \newline(C) 8x8 -8 \leq x \leq 8 \newline(D) 8x2 -8 \leq x \leq 2
  1. Isolate absolute value expression: Isolate the absolute value expression.\newlineTo solve the inequality 5x+312135|x+3| - 12 \leq 13, we first need to isolate the absolute value expression on one side of the inequality. We do this by adding 1212 to both sides of the inequality.\newline5x+312+1213+125|x+3| - 12 + 12 \leq 13 + 12\newline5x+3255|x+3| \leq 25
  2. Remove coefficient: Remove the coefficient of the absolute value expression.\newlineNext, we divide both sides of the inequality by 55 to solve for the absolute value expression x+3|x+3|.\newline5x+35255\frac{5|x+3|}{5} \leq \frac{25}{5}\newlinex+35|x+3| \leq 5
  3. Set up inequalities: Set up two separate inequalities.\newlineThe absolute value inequality x+35|x+3| \leq 5 means that the quantity inside the absolute value, x+3x+3, is less than or equal to 55 and greater than or equal to 5-5. We can write this as two separate inequalities:\newlinex+35x+3 \leq 5 and x+35x+3 \geq -5
  4. Solve first inequality: Solve the first inequality.\newlineWe solve the first inequality x+35x+3 \leq 5 by subtracting 33 from both sides.\newlinex+3353x+3 - 3 \leq 5 - 3\newlinex2x \leq 2
  5. Solve second inequality: Solve the second inequality.\newlineWe solve the second inequality x+35x+3 \geq -5 by subtracting 33 from both sides.\newlinex+3353x+3 - 3 \geq -5 - 3\newlinex8x \geq -8
  6. Combine solutions: Combine the solutions to find the solution set.\newlineThe solution set for the inequality is the intersection of the solutions to the two inequalities we found in steps 44 and 55. This means xx must be greater than or equal to 8-8 and less than or equal to 22.\newline8x2-8 \leq x \leq 2
