Solve for x please help (show work!)

x = 1/2 or 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

8(-2x + 1) = 0

Distribute the 8 by multiplying 8 by what's inside of the parenthesis (-2x and 1)

8 * -2x = -16x

8 * 1 = 8

We now have

-16x + 8 = 0

Subtract 8 from both sides

-16x + 8 - 8 = 0 - 8

-16x = -8

Divide both sides by -16

-16x/-16 = -8/-16

x = 1/2

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
