When you're solving this inequality, the first step is to isolate the absolute value.
00:04
So we need to get rid of this 3 that's on the same side.
00:09
So you're going to first start by subtracting 3 from both sides.
00:13
So you end up with negative absolute value of x plus 1 is less than 1 half minus 3, which is negative, 2 .5.
00:24
And then you're going to get rid of this negative that's outside.
00:28
So we're going to multiply this entire inequality by a negative.
00:31
And that's going to give you the positive absolute value of x plus 1 is not less than but greater than because you multiply negative changes the inequality and not negative 2 and 1 half but positive 2 and 1 half okay so that's what we're working with once we've isolated the absolute value you're going to pull out the interior value x plus 1 expression and you're going to say okay that could be equal to exactly what we think right which means it's a positive version of that, which means that it should be greater than 2 .5.
01:09
But the other possibility is that it was actually worth the opposite of that.
01:13
So that means that the other stuff is the opposite of what you see.
01:18
So greater than becomes less than and 2 .5 becomes negative 2 .5.
01:27
And now we're going to solve these two possibilities.
01:32
So you get a minus 1 on both to get the answer.
01:35
So x is greater than 1 .5.
01:38
And over here on this side you can make minus 1 negative x is less than negative 3 .5.
01:48
So it's less than negative 3 and a half or greater than 1 .5.
01:53
So this is an or relationship that goes away from each other.
01:55
There's no overlap.
01:57
When you graph it, let's just do halves.
02:00
So this is, let's say, negative 4, and this is negative 3.
02:06
This is negative 2.
02:08
This is negative 1.
02:09
This is 0.
02:12
And this is then 1.
02:16
I should have started a little bit to the left there.
02:19
So i have a couple ways of fixing that.
02:20
I kind of move everything over or i can take off this arrow.
02:24
So i just make my life easy and take that arrow off.
02:27
And so let's extend this out beyond.
02:31
And then we're good.
02:33
All right...
