Solving Absolute Value Inequalties with Less Than

Here's another one:

| x | is less than or equal to 5 ... What numbers ( x ) ... have a distance ( | | ) ... less than 5? ( 5 )

A number line showing open dots at -5 and 5 connected by a solid line ... -5 < x < 5 ... There's no " = " so we leave the dots open

TRY IT:

 
What's the solution to| x | is less than or equal to 2

*Graph it on a number line!
