|y+4|<1

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

This being an inequality lets solve this yet again step by step :)!

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

So first we know, y + 4 < 1 and y + 4 > -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok you going to have to be patient with me because i really dont know how to solve this one

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Alright.

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

y + 4 < 1 (Condition 1 :)), First you subtract 4 from both sides which would look like this -> y + 4 - 4 < 1 - 4

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Which means what is the answer? :)

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

For part 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so im subtracting 1 from -4?

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Well what is 1 - 4, use a calculator if you need :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Yes correct so... What would your final answer for that condition be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y+4<1=-3?

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

No. as 4 -4 removes 4 from y so y becomes y < ??, remove the 1 = Because that is not part of the final answer and it makes no sense for that to be in the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so y becomes y<-3

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

That is actually your answer for condition 1, now lets move onto condition 2!

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Which is y +4 > -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

I will write it out you solve it, y + 4 - 4 > -1 - 4, So your answer for this part would be?

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Keep in mind everyone knows what 4 - 4 is 0 so there will be nothing leaving you with y >

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Now you solve the right side :)!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5<y ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You explained it sooo much better than i would have. or could have for that matter. @DivineSolar :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@DivineSolar

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

@honeyy16 Sorry my computer crashed, and @PressureGaming yeah i try my best to explain.

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

And no it would be y > -5 giving you the answer of y < -3 and y > -5 Attached a line plot below as well for it.
