Please help. I need help with my math homework and I’m confused and I only have one attempt. Thanks in Advance!

Answer 1

x>-6, x<-4

Explanation:

|x+5|>-1

x+5>−1 (Possibility 1)

x+5−5>−1−5 (Subtract 5 from both sides)

x>−6

x+5<−(−1)(Possibility 2)

x+5<1(Simplify both sides of the inequality)

x+5−5<1−5(Subtract 5 from both sides)

x<−4

x>-6 or x<-4
