Answer:

The solution of the compound inequality is

(-34,∞)∩ (-∞,10)=(-34,10)

Explanation:

we have


\left|x+12\right|+5<27

Subtract 5 both sides


\left|x+12\right|<27-5


\left|x+12\right|<22

Separate into a compound inequality


x+12 <22 ------> inequality A


-(x+12)<22 ------> inequality B

Solve inequality A


x+12 <22


x <22-12


x <10

The solution is the interval (-∞,10)

Solve inequality B


-(x+12)<22

Multiply by -1 both sides


(x+12)>-22


x>-22-12


x>-34

The solution is the interval (-34,∞)

therefore

The solution of the compound inequality is

(-34,∞)∩ (-∞,10)=(-34,10)
