mode is there so u need to remove mode first

gorv · Answer

|x| means it will always give values >0
|-3|=3

gorv · Answer

so here x+5<4
x<-1
but if x<-9
thenvalue will be greater than 4

anonymous · Answer

Actually, I change my answer! It could be -4 -5 -6 -7 or even -8. Pretty much the easiest way to do it is just subtract 6 from 4. Anything that comes up less than four can pretty much be the answer. :)

gorv · Answer

what about -2,-3

gorv · Answer

-9<x<-1

anonymous · Answer
