Oh, dear me! No, neither is done correctly….
Watch and learn…
PROBLEM 1:
|x-1| < - 3 This can NEVER be less than -3.... because the absolute value of ANYTHING is always going to be a POSITIVE number.... This one has NO SOLUTION... PROBLEM 2: |x+5| > -6
This will ALWAYS be greater than -6…. because the absolute value of ANYTHING is always going to be a POSITIVE number….
So the solution is “x” is the set of all real numbers…
Hope this helps!!!
