+abs%28+-x+-+3+%29+%3C+3+
+abs%28+-%28+x%2B3+%29+%29+%3C+3+
I'll say +z+=+x+%2B+3+
+abs%28+-z+%29+%3C+3+
+-3+%3C+z+%3C+3+
--------------
+-3+%3C+x+%2B+3+
+x+%3E+-6+
and
+x+%2B+3+%3C+3+
+x+%3C+0+
----------
I seem to get what you get

highlight_green%28-+6+%3C+x+%3C+0%29

The range between - 6 and 0 on the number line needs to be MARKED by a very BOLD and SOLID line.

Checking, you'll see that all those values between the above range make the absolute-value inequality true.

You can do the check!!
