So in part a of this problem, we're being asked to write an absolute value inequality to represent a value of x that it's eight units away from three.
00:10
Well, remember, absolute value typically refers to the distance away from zero.
00:15
So in this particular case, we're now talking about eight units away from three.
00:19
Okay.
00:20
Well, if you think about your inequality or your number line, like i said, typically we're talking about within so many units from zero.
00:29
But this time we're talking about so many units from three.
00:33
So that means we're going to take the absolute value of x minus three.
00:37
Because when x is equal to three, we'd get zero and then we'd be back to our normal...
