 ***>/= means greater than or equal to. not =8
 Part2. Solve the inequality.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! |4x+5| -7>=8 abs(4x-5)>=15
 4x-5>=15; 4x>=10,x>=2.5
 if x=3, abs (17)-7>=8 true.
 ------------------------------
 4x+5<=-15
 4x<=-20
 x<=-5
 check with -6
 abs(-19)-7>=8
 12>=8, true
 ----------------
 (-oo,-5] U [2.5,oo)
