Hey there!
|2x + 1| < -4
Since you have an absolute value that is LESS than 0, we can say that it doesn’t have any solutions.
Thus, your answer should be:
NO SOLUTIONS
REMEMBER: If your absolute value is smaller/less than 0, you would NOT have any solutions to the particular equation (like this one you have provided just now)
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
