I have to help you get to the answer, so what do you not understand about the question?

the statement of |x|<5 says that a number is between -5 and 5
this is because the absolute value makes it
-(x) < 5      or   (x) < 5
   x > -5   or    x < 5
which means that x is between the numbers -5 and 5
