Question

Solve |x + 5| < 9

Answer 1

Same method as the last problem

Answer 2

Okay :D

Answer 3

no not at all

Answer 4

The method is still solving casewise for x+5>0 and x+5<0....

Answer 5

last problem was greater than, have to solve two separate inequalities, get TWO separate intervals
this one is less than
solve one compound inequality
\[-9<x+5<9\] get ONE interval

Answer 6

The results are different, but the method is exactly the same.

Answer 7

method is entirely different, as are the results

Answer 8

The method is still precisely the piecewise solution of the equation for the case where the term within the absolute value is positive and for the case where that term is negative. It is exactly the same method.

Answer 9

you can espress solution different ways

[x < 4, -5 <= x], [x < -5, -14 < x]

Answer 10

If you think the method is different it is because you are not using the proper method, you are using a derivation of the method that oversimplifies what the proper thought process is for handling the problem.

Answer 11

you can say x+5<9

and x+5<-9

right

Answer 12

No timo, the second one is x+5>-9
