Ease Into Prep with a DAT^® Question of the Day

The correct answer is C.

Picking Numbers is a great strategy to make this

abstract algebra question seem more concrete.

A quick glance at the structure of the answer choices

shows us that we should test numbers both greater

than and less than -8, -4, 4, and 8.

Arbitrarily, we'll pick the following four numbers that fit

these criteria:

x = -10, x = -5, x = 1, x = 5, x = 10

Finally, we'll use these numbers to test the answer

choices. The values x = -10, x = 5, and x = 10 appear

to satisfy the inequality. Notice we can already

conclude that choice (C) is correct; it's the only

choice that includes x = -10, x = 5, and x = 10.
