If |p| < 7 => p can be from (-7,7).
x can be -18 in case of p = -7;

x can be 38 in case of p=7

Hence the range of x = (-18,38).

IMO E

 Author: Lizaza [ 21 Dec 2022, 23:27 ] Post subject: Re: 12 Days of Christmas GMAT Competition - Day 8: If x = 4p + 10 and |p| To solve this, we just need to open the modulus for P:$$|p| < 7$$, which means $$-7 < p < 7$$Now, the limiting values of the original expression will be:$$4p + 10 = 4*(-7) + 10 =$$$$-18$$$$4p + 10 = 4*(7) + 10 =$$$$38$$And as P is strictly less, not equal to |7|, then X will never actually equal to those values, it will always remain in between:$$-18 < x < 38$$Therefore, the answer is E.

p lies from -7 to 7
therefore x is -18 to 38
