Start with the given inequality


Add 9 to both sides.


Break up the absolute value (remember, if you have , then and )

and Break up the absolute value inequality using the given rule


Combine the two inequalities to get a compound inequality



Add 10 to all sides


----------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is





which looks like this in interval notation





if you wanted to graph the solution set, you would get
