Q. Solve for rr.\newline8r>168|r| > 16\newlineWrite 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.\newline______
  1. Divide by 88: We have the inequality:\newline8r>168|r| > 16\newlineFirst, we divide both sides of the inequality by 88 to isolate r|r|.\newline8r8>168\frac{8|r|}{8} > \frac{16}{8}\newliner>2|r| > 2
  2. Interpret absolute value: Now we interpret the absolute value inequality r>2|r| > 2.\newlineThis means rr is either greater than 22 or less than 2-2.\newlineSo we can write two separate inequalities:\newliner>2r > 2 or r<2r < -2
  3. Express as compound inequality: We now express the solution as a compound inequality. The compound inequality is: r<2r < -2 or r>2r > 2
