How do you solve #abs(2x+9)-2x>=0#? Precalculus Solving Rational Inequalities Polynomial Inequalities 1 Answer Cesareo R. Feb 24, 2017 #abs(2x+9)-2x>=0# is true for all #x in RR# Explanation: #abs(2x+9)-2x>=0 -> abs(2x+9)-(2x+9)+9 ge 0# then, for #x ne -9/2# #1-(2x+9)/abs(2x+9)+9/abs(2x+9) ge 0# Calling #9/abs(2x+9) = epsilon ge 0# we have #1 pm 1 + epsilon ge 0#. This is always true so #abs(2x+9)-2x>=0# is true for all #x in RR# Answer link Related questions What are common mistakes students make when solving polynomial inequalities?
