@calcmathlete can u explain to me why its no solution? i had a horrible algebra teacher

anonymous · Answer

Alright. absolute value bars make any number that comes out of them positive right? So, |-1238583| = 1238583
That being said, there is no way to make |x| < -4 since no matter what, the answer would not work.

anonymous · Answer

Also, even if it were to work, you forgot to split the absolute value inequality.
