10. Example 3 Solve Absolute Value Inequalities A. Solve 2 > |d|. Graph the solution set on a number line. 2 > |d| means that the distance between d and 0 on a number line is less than 2 units. To make 2 > |d| true, you must substitute numbers for d that are fewer than 2 units from 0. Answer: The solution set is  d | –2 < d < 2 . All of the numbers between –2 and 2 are less than 2 units from 0. Notice that the graph of 2 > |d| is the same as the graph of d > –2 and d < 2.

17. Example 5 Write and Solve an Absolute Value Inequality A. JOB HUNTING To prepare for a job interview, Hinda researches the position’s requirements and pay. She discovers that the average starting salary for the position is $38,500, but her actual starting salary could differ from the average by as much as $2450. Write an absolute value inequality to describe this situation. Let x = the actual starting salary. Answer:|38,500 – x|  2450 The starting salary can differ from the average by as much as$2450. |38,500 – x|  2450

18. Example 5 Write and Solve an Absolute Value Inequality B. JOB HUNTING To prepare for a job interview, Hinda researches the position’s requirements and pay. She discovers that the average starting salary for the position is $38,500, but her actual starting salary could differ from the average by as much as $2450. Solve the inequality to find the range of Hinda’s starting salary. | 38,500 – x |  2450 Rewrite the absolute value inequality as a compound inequality. Then solve for x. –2450  38,500 – x  2450 –2450 – 38,500  –x  2450 – 38,500 –40,950  –x  –36,050 40,950  x  36,050

19. Example 5 Write and Solve an Absolute Value Inequality Answer: The solution set is  x | 36,050  x  40,950 . Hinda’s starting salary will fall within $36,050 and $40,950.
