okay I think I understand
|-4x - 5| >= -3 --> this is your problem, >= --> used this for greater than or equal to
above problem is same as the following problem:
-4x - 5 >= -3 OR -4x - 5 <= 3
-4x >= 2 OR -4x <= 8 (same operation both sides of >= sign)
x <= 2/(-4) OR x >= 8/(-4) (flipped sign since divided by negative)
x <= -1/2 OR x >= -2
answer set: (-infinity,-1/2]U[-2,+infinity} (the bracket means inclusion in the set, the "U" means union), the 2 sets in the union overlap, seems all values of x are solutions
