Solve each of the following in equations and represent the solution set on the number line.

, x ϵ R.


Given:


, x ϵ R.


Intervals of |x|:


|x| = -x, x<0


|x| = x, x ≥ 0


Domain of


|x| + 3 = 0


X = -3 or x = 3


Therefore,


-3 < x < 3


Now, combining intervals with domain:


x < -3, -3<x<0, 0 ≤ x <3, x >3


For x < -3



Now, subtracting from both the sides





Signs of x + 5:


x + 5 = 0 x = -5 (Subtracting 5 from both the sides)


x + 5 > 0 x > -5 (Subtracting 5 from both the sides)


x + 5 < 0 x < -5 (Subtracting 5 from both the sides)


Signs of -2x - 6:


-2x - 6 = 0 x = -3


(Adding 6 on both the sides, then multiplying both the sides by -1 and then dividing both the sides by 2)


-2x - 6 > 0 x < -3


(Adding 6 on both the sides, then multiplying both the sides by -1 and then dividing both the sides by 2)


-2x - 6 < 0 x > -3


(Adding 6 on both the sides, then multiplying both the sides by -1 and then dividing both the sides by 2)


Intervals satisfying the required condition: ≤ 0


x < -5, x= -5, x >-3


or


x ≤ -5 or x >-3


Similarly, for -3 < x < 0:


x ≤ -5 or x >-3


Merging overlapping intervals:


-3 < x < 0


For, 0 ≤ x < 3:



Subtracting from both the sides





Multiplying both the sides by 2




Signs of 5 – x:


5 – x = 0 x = 5


(Subtracting 5 from both the sides and then dividing both sides


by -1)


5 – x > 0 x < 5


(Subtracting 5 from both the sides and then multiplying both sides by -1)


5 – x < 0 x > 5


(Subtracting 5 from both the sides and then multiplying both sides by -1)


Signs of x – 3:


x – 3 = 0 x = 3 (Adding 3 to both the sides)


5 – x > 0 x > 3 (Adding 3 to both the sides)


5 – x < 0 x < 3 (Adding 3 to both the sides)


Intervals satisfying the condition: x ≤ 0


x < 3 or x = 5 or x > 5


or


x <3 and x ≥ 5


Similarly, for 0 ≤ x < 3:


x <3 and x ≥ 5


Merging overlapping intervals:


0 ≤ x < 3


Now, combining all the intervals satisfying condition: ≤ 0


x ≤ -5 or -3 < x < 0 or 0 ≤ x < 3 or x ≥ 5


Therefore


x є (-∞, -5] υ (-3, 3) υ [5, ∞)
