There are many types of equations or inequalities where a negative in front of an expression can be confusing, or make solving more difficult. A basic thing to do in such cases, if possible, is to move the confusing expression to the other side of the equation or inequality so it no longer has the negative sign. For your example...

\n" ); document.write( "\"-11+%3C=+5+-+abs%282p%2B4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"abs%282p%2B4%29+-+11+%3C=+5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"abs%282p%2B4%29+%3C=+16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-16+%3C=+2p%2B4+%3C=+16\"

\n" ); document.write( "I will assume you can solve it from there....
\n" ); document.write( "
