Q. Solve for

s

.

\newline

|s - 6| > 8

\newline

Write a compound inequality like

1 < x < 3

or like

x < 1

or

x > 3

. Use integers, proper fractions, or improper fractions in simplest form.

\newline

______

Split Inequalities: We have the absolute value inequality $|s - 6| > 8$ . We need to split this into two separate inequalities because the absolute value of a number is greater than $8$ if the number itself is either greater than $8$ or less than $-8$ . $\newline$ So, we have two cases: $\newline$ $1$ . $s - 6 > 8$ $\newline$ $2$ . $s - 6 < -8$
Solve First Inequality: Solve the first inequality $s - 6 > 8$ . Add $6$ to both sides to isolate $s$ : $s - 6 + 6 > 8 + 6$ $s > 14$
Solve Second Inequality: Solve the second inequality $s - 6 < -8$ . Add $6$ to both sides to isolate $s$ : $s - 6 + 6 < -8 + 6$ $s < -2$
Combine Inequalities: Combine the two inequalities into a compound inequality. $\newline$ The solution to the original inequality $|s - 6| > 8$ is $s < -2$ or $s > 14$ .
