Solving Absolute Value Inequalities• when you have:• less than (< or ≤): we write it as a “sandwich”
|x + 1|< 3-3 < x + 1 < 3
• greater than (> or ≥): we write it as an “or”|x + 1| > 3
x + 1 > 3 or x + 1 < -3
• Remember as:– less “and”– great “or”

Solving Absolute Value Inequalities
• Isolate the absolute value first– (get it by itself)
• make it an “and” or an “or” statement
• solve and graph

Solving Inequalities
• one-step and multi-step inequalities– follow the steps for solving an equation– reverse the inequality symbol when
multiplying/dividing by a negative number
• compound inequalities– rewrite as two separate inequalities, if necessary
• absolute value inequalities– isolate the absolute value expression on one side of
the inequality– rewrite as a compound inequality, then solve
