Q. Solve for t.−∣t∣<−8Write 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 are given the inequality −∣t∣<−8. To solve for t, we first need to isolate the absolute value expression on one side of the inequality. Since the absolute value is being multiplied by −1, we can divide both sides of the inequality by −1 to get ∣t∣>8. Remember that when we divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, we must reverse the direction of the inequality.Calculation: −∣t∣<−8→∣t∣>8 (after dividing by −1 and reversing the inequality)
Interpret absolute value: Now that we have ∣t∣>8, we can interpret this as t being greater than 8 or less than −8. This is because the absolute value of t is greater than 8, which means t is more than 8 units away from 0 on the number line, in either direction.Compound inequality: t>8 or t0
