WIth these absolute values we must start with 4 inequalities. here are the four:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
--
we can solve each of these for y as
(i) becomes (v)
(ii) becomes (vi)
(iii) becomes (vii)
(iv) becomes (viii)
--
Graphing them creates a quadrilateral. We now graph these and look for the minimum y crossing points. This occurs when (vi) crosses over (viii). We get


adding down, the x's drop out and we get

and then

So, the minimum value of y is -105.
