You can put this solution on YOUR website! can you describe the graph of the solution of |2x+5|-1<3 after you solve it. please show work so i can understand thanks
-----------------------
|2x+5| < 4
----
-4 < 2x+5 < 4
---
-9 < 2x < -1
---
-9/2 < x < -1/2
----------------------
Draw a number line.
Plot -9/2 and put a circle around the point.
Plot -1/2 and put a circle around the point.
Connect the points with a line segment.
------
That picture is the graph of the solutions.
