abs%28y-1%29%3C2 Start with the given inequality


Break up the absolute value (remember, if you have abs%28x%29%3C+a, then x+%3E+-a and x+%3C+a)

y-1+%3E+-2 and y-1+%3C+2 Break up the absolute value inequality using the given rule


-2+%3C+y-1+%3C+2 Combine the two inequalities to get a compound inequality



-1+%3C+y+%3C+3 Add 1 to all sides


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

Answer:

So our answer is

-1+%3C+y+%3C+3



which looks like this in interval notation





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