Math Problem Statement
Solve the absolute value inequality: |x + 4| > 3
Solution
The inequality presented is:
To solve this, we break it into two cases because the absolute value inequality can be written as two inequalities:
Case 1:
Solve for :
Case 2:
Solve for :
Thus, the solution to the inequality is:
In interval notation, this solution is:
