Solve and graph inequality

x ≥ 3 and x ≤ -3      See below

Step-by-step explanation:

| x | ≥ 3

 Case I                                     Case II

x ≥ 3                                          -(x) ≥ 3

                                                  -x ≥ 3  multiply by -1 and change the inequality

                                                  x ≤ -3

The graph:

Graph ≤ or ≥ the closed circle at the endpoint.

  x ≥ 3  closed circle at point 3 and shade to the right .

  x  ≤ -3  closed circle at -3 and shade to the left.

x is the total time in minutes for the free response

you are given number of questions as 15 - m and time per item as 8 minutes

to find x multiply the two givens together:

x = 8 * (15-m) = 8(15-m)
