Let's solve this guy:

a number line indicating 2x + 1 lives below -3 or 2x + 1 lives above 3

| 2x + 1 | < 3 ... subtract 1 from both sides ... 2x < -4 ... x < -2

| 2x + 1 | > 3 ... subtract 1 from both sides ... 2x > 2 ... x > 1

interval notation

TRY IT:

Solve

So... what about this guy?

Think about what it's asking!

| x + 5 | > -2
When is a distance greater than -2?

Always, silly!

We can't even set this guy up to TRY to solve him.

The answer is
