The difference between the areas of the figures is less than 4. An absolute value inequality that represents this situation is ___

The solution of the inequality is ___

Thank you

We know that:

If T = area of the triangle

and R = area of the rectangle:

I T - RI < 4.

Now, we know that:

T = 8*6/2 = 8*3 = 24

R = 4*(x - 4) = 4*x - 16

Then replacing those values, we can write:

I24 - (4*x - 16)I < 4

I40 - 4*xI < 4

Now let's solve it:

First we aim for the first value that is not a solutions, this is when:

I40 - 4*xI = 4

we can write this as:

40 - 4*x = +-4

The first extreme is:

40 - 4*x = +4

x = (40 - 4)/4 = 9

The other extreme is:

40 - 4*x = -4

x = (40 + 4)/4 = 11.

Then the set of solutions is: S = (9, 11)

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
