Q. Solve for q.∣q∣+5>9Write a compound inequality like 1<x<3 or like x<1 or x>3. Use integers, proper fractions, or improper fractions in simplest form.______
Isolate absolute value: We have the inequality:∣q∣+5>9First, we isolate the absolute value term by subtracting 5 from both sides of the inequality.∣q∣+5−5>9−5∣q∣>4
Consider absolute value definition: Now we need to consider the definition of absolute value. The absolute value of q is greater than 4 means that q is either greater than 4 or less than −4. So we can write two inequalities: q>4 or q<−4 This is the compound inequality that represents the solution to the original inequality.
