Solution Preview
Solving inequalities can be tricky. First of all, you have to understand the definition of absolute value to see why there are always two equations to solve.
The definition of absolute value says that
|x| = x, if x >=0
or
|x| = -x if x < 0
This definition may look very puzzling, but if you think about it for a while, it makes sense. Remember, the absolute value of
a number can never be negative.
For example, if x = 3, then |x| = 3, because 3 > 0. However, ...
