|y+4|<1

Answer 1

If we have |x|<1, then we want all values of x that have a distance less than 1 from 0.

This means we want all the values between -1 and 1 for x.
In math we say, \[x \epsilon (-1,1) \] or
\[-1<x<1 \]
So if you have |y+1|<1 this means we want -1<y+1<1
Solve the inequality for y.

Answer 2

You would subtract one on all sides giving you -1-1<y+1-1<1-1
-2<y<0

Do you think you can do your problem now?

Answer 3

Or like let me see you try in solving |y+4|<1

Answer 4

thanks that helped me a lot

Answer 5

Great. :)

Answer 6

So what did you get for your answer?

Answer 7

-5<y<-3

Answer 8

That is actually right. Good job.
