I need help with this problem: \r\n" );
document.write( "|-4x| + |-5| < 1 \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Rewrite |-5| as 5\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "|-4x| + 5 < 1\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Add -5 to both sides\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "|-4x| < -4\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "There can be no solution because\r\n" );
document.write( "every absolute value is nonnegative,\r\n" );
document.write( "and no nonnegative number can be less\r\n" );
document.write( "than -4, since they are all greater\r\n" );
document.write( "than 0.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the solution set is Ø, \r\n" );
document.write( "the null or empty set.\r\n" );
