Linear inequalities with absolute values 2010-12-01
From ryan:
Good day!
We we're given this assignment in algebra concerning linear inequalities with absolute value. In this number I'm confused how to isolate the absolute value, considering there is a variable in the absolute value and there is a variable in the outside.

From Angel:

|ax+b| = cx + d

how to show sometimes the above has 2 roots, sometimes 1 root and sometimes no roots. Hopelessly lost on how to start...

|x+3| = -15x 2003-07-19
From Nathan:
Without the use of trial and error, is there a way of solving for x where |x + 3| = -15x? I know that x = -0.1875, but how do I find whether x + 3 is positive or not if I did not have this information (In other words, how would I solve whether the x-value was -3 or less, or if it was more than -3)?

From Randall:
I don't seem to be able to solve this: | n + 4 | + | 3 - 2n | = 16
