Q. Solve for dd.d1<17|d| - 1 < 17Write a compound inequality like 1<x<31 < x < 3 or like x<1x < 1 or x>3x > 3. Use integers, proper fractions, or improper fractions in simplest form.
  1. Isolate Absolute Value: We have the inequality: \newlined1<17|d| - 1 < 17\newlineFirst, we isolate the absolute value term by adding 11 to both sides of the inequality.\newlined1+1<17+1|d| - 1 + 1 < 17 + 1\newlined<18|d| < 18
  2. Consider Absolute Value Definition: Now we need to consider the definition of absolute value. The inequality d<18|d| < 18 means that dd is less than 1818 units away from 00 on the number line. This gives us two inequalities:\newlined<18d < 18 and d<18-d < 18
  3. Multiply by 1-1: The second inequality, d<18-d < 18, can be multiplied by 1-1 to get d>18d > -18. Remember that multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number reverses the inequality sign.\newlined<18-d < 18\newline(1)(d)>(1)(18)(-1)(-d) > (-1)(18)\newlined>18d > -18
  4. Combine Inequalities: Combining the two inequalities from the previous steps, we get the compound inequality:\newline18<d<18-18 < d < 18\newlineThis means that dd is greater than 18-18 and less than 1818.
