You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I must agree. $\"+abs%28x%2B4%29%3E0\"$ for all x by definition, so $\"-2%2Aabs%28x%2B4%29%3C0\"$ for all x. $\"0%3C22\"$ , obviously, so $\"-2%2Aabs%28x%2B4%29%3C22\"$ is true for all x. Perhaps you read the problem wrong, or your teacher is pulling a prank? \n" ); document.write( "
