31.If|8\u2212 3s|= 9, then 8\u2212 3s=\u00b19, so 3s=\u22121 or 17, and
s=\u22121/3 or s=17/3.

2\u22121 = \u00b11, sos =0 ors =4.
33.If|x|< 2, thenx is in(\u22122, 2).
34.If|x |\u2264 2, thenx is in [\u22122, 2].
35.If|s \u2212 1|\u2264 2, then 1\u2212 2\u2264s \u2264 1+ 2, sos is in [\u22121, 3].
36.If|t + 2|< 1, then\u22122\u2212 1<t <\u22122+ 1, sot is in
(\u22123,\u22121).
37.If|3x\u2212 7|< 2, then 7\u2212 2< 3x< 7+ 2, sox is in
(5/3,3).
38.If|2x+ 5|< 1, then\u22125\u2212 1< 2x<\u22125+ 1, sox is in
(\u22123,\u22122).
39.If

\ue000
\u22641, then 1 \u22121 \u2264x2\u22641 +1, sox is in [0, 4].
40.If
\ue000

<12, thenx/2 lies between 2\u2212(1/2) and
2+(1/2). Thusx is in(3, 5).
41.The inequality|x + 1|> |x \u2212 3| says that the distance
fromx to\u22121 is greater than the distance fromx to 3, so
xmust be to the right of the point half-way between\u22121
and 3. Thusx> 1.
42.|x \u22123|<2|x| \u21d4x2 \u22126x +9 =(x \u22123)2 < 4x2
\u21d43x2 +6x \u22129> 0 \u21d43(x +3)(x \u22121) > 0. This
inequality holds ifx<\u22123 orx> 1.
43.|a| =aif and only if a \u22650. It is false ifa< 0.
44.The equation|x \u2212 1|= 1\u2212x holds if|x \u2212 1|=\u2212(x \u2212 1),
that is, ifx\u2212 1< 0, or, equivalently, ifx< 1.
45.The triangle inequality|x +y| \u2264 |x| +|y| implies that
|x| \u2265 |x +y| \u2212 |y|.
Apply this inequality withx= a\u2212 b andy= b to get
|a \u2212b| \u2265 |a| \u2212 |b|.
Similarly,|a \u2212b|=|b \u2212a |\u2265|b|\u2212|a |. Since
\ue000
\ue000
\ue000|a| \u2212 |b|\ue000
\ue000
\ue000
is equal to either|a|\u2212|b| or|b|\u2212|a|, depending on the
sizes ofa andb, we have
|a \u2212b| \u2265
\ue000
\ue000
\ue000|a| \u2212 |b|\ue000
\ue000
\ue000.

13.The vertical line through(\u22122, 5/3) isx=\u22122; the hori-
zontal line through that point isy= 5/3.

horizontal line through that point isy=\u22121.3.
15.Line through(\u22121, 1) with slopem= 1 is

19.Atx= 2, the height of the line 2x+ 3y= 6 is
y=(6 \u22124)/3 =2/3. Thus(2, 1) lies above the line.
20.Atx= 3, the height of the linex\u2212 4y= 7 is
y=(3 \u22127)/4 = \u22121. Thus(3, \u22121) lies on the line.
