Answer:
the first is two points; the second is the interval between (and including) those two points
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation ...
4 = |x +5|
has two solutions:
x ∈ {-9, -1}
__
In the interval between those two solutions the absolute value expression is less than 4. So, the second expression has a solution that is a range of values. Those values are in the interval whose boundaries are -9 and -1.
x ∈ [-9, -1]
__
The solution to the second expression can be found as ...
4 ≥ |x +5|
4 ≥ x+5 ≥ -4 . . . . express as a compound inequality
-1 ≥ x ≥ -9 . . . . . . subtract 5
__
The attached graph shows the two solutions. The solution to the first equation is the pair of (black) lines, x=-9 and x=-1. The solution to the second equation is the (orange) shaded interval -9 ≤ x ≤ -1.
