Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The difference of a number and -6 is less than 9.
---
The difference of a & b can be a-b or b-a
-------
n = "a number"
---
The difference of n and -6 can be n - (-6) = n+6, or -6-n
Using absolute values covers both.
|n+6| < 9
---
n+6 < 9
n < 3
============
-n-6 < 9
Add n-6
0 < n+15
Subtract 15
-15 < n
----
-15 < n < 3
