Use the graph to determine the solution of the inequality |x + 1| + 2 > 5.
To graph this , first we make the absolute function alone
|x + 1| + 2 > 5
to make absolute function alone we subtract 2 from both sides
|x + 1| > 3
x+1 inside the absolute function . so x=-1
From -1, move 3 units to the right and 3 units to the left.
For x>2 , shade the graph to the right
For x< -4, shade the graph to the left
The graph is attached below
The solution to the inequality is x<-4 and x>2
