To solve the inequality β£xβ4β£<8, we will break it down into two separate inequalities.
- First, recognize that β£xβ4β£<8 means the expression xβ4 can vary between -8 and 8 without violating the inequality constraint.
- This gives us two inequalities to solve: β8<xβ4 and xβ4<8.
Let's solve each inequality:
1. For β8<xβ4:
- Add 4 to both sides to isolate x:
β8+4<xββ4<x
2. For xβ4<8:
- Add 4 to both sides to isolate x:
x<8+4βx<12
By combining these results, we obtain the solution:
β4<x<12
Therefore, the range of x that satisfies the inequality β£xβ4β£<8 is β4<x<12.
Hence, the correct statement from the given choices is β4<x<12β.
Answer:
β4<x<12
