Given:
∣2x+3∣≤4x−2
Which of the following statements is necessarily true?
To solve the inequality ∣2x+3∣≤4x−2, we can consider two cases for the absolute value expression.
Case 1: 2x+3≤4x−2
Rearrange terms:
3+2≤4x−2x
5≤2x
x≥25
Case 2: −(2x+3)≤4x−2
This simplifies to:
−2x−3≤4x−2
Rearrange terms:
−3+2≤4x+2x
−1≤6x
x≥6−1
Combining both conditions, the necessary true statement is:
x≥25
x≥25
