Absolute Value Question!

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

@aceace post the question :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Represent the solutions sets of the following equation on a number line...\[\left| x+3 \right| > 1\] and \[\left| 2x + 5 \right| < 3\]

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

|a| = -a if a<0 |a| = a if a>0 so solve (x+3)>1 & -(x+3)>1 (2x+5)<3 & -(2x+5)<3

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

Do u gt it @aceace ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but i got x>-2 , x<-4 and x<-1 , x>-4 but the answers are different

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could you do it step by step for me?

OpenStudy (nubeer):

hmm.. so what are the answers? @aceace

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are -2<x<-1

hartnn (hartnn):

these are absolutely, what u got x>-2 , x<-4 and x<-1 , x>-4

hartnn (hartnn):

now 'AND' means the common region between them what is common from x>-2 , x<-4 and x<-1 , x>-4 ?

hartnn (hartnn):

x>-2 , x<-4 |dw:1352542195310:dw|

hartnn (hartnn):

x<-1 , x>-4 |dw:1352542254504:dw| so whats the common region ?
