Answer:

the first is two points; the second is the interval between (and including) those two points

Explanation:

The equation ...

4 = |x +5|

has two solutions:

x ∈ {-9, -1}

__

In the interval between those two solutions the absolute value expression is less than 4. So, the second expression has a solution that is a range of values. Those values are in the interval whose boundaries are -9 and -1.

x ∈ [-9, -1]

__

The solution to the second expression can be found as ...

4 ≥ |x +5|

4 ≥ x+5 ≥ -4 . . . . express as a compound inequality

-1 ≥ x ≥ -9 . . . . . . subtract 5

__

The attached graph shows the two solutions. The solution to the first equation is the pair of (black) lines, x=-9 and x=-1. The solution to the second equation is the (orange) shaded interval -9 ≤ x ≤ -1.
