Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the inequality [tex]|x+4|>13[/tex], to solve, we will solve the negative and positive value of the modulus for x as shown:
If the modulus is positive:
[tex]x+4>13\\[/tex]
subtract 4 from both sides
[tex]x+4-4>13-4\\x>9[/tex]
If the modulus is negative
[tex]-(x+4)>13\\-x-4>13\\[/tex]
Add 4 to both sides
[tex]-x-4+4>13+4\\-x>17[/tex]
Multiply both sides by -1
[tex]-(-x)<-17\\x<-17\\-17>x[/tex]
Combine both inequalities. If:
[tex]x>9\\[/tex]
Combining with [tex]-17>x[/tex] will give:
[tex]-17>x>9[/tex]
