Algebra: Chapter 9, Lesson 4, page 413.

Inequalities and Absolute Value

If the inequality with absolute values looks like: `| A | < b`, then we solve the conjunction `-b < A < b`. Think of a number line, and the solution will be within the bounds of `-b` and `b`. This also works with `≤`.

If the inequality with absolute values look like: `| A | > b`, then we solve the disjunction `A < -b` OR `A > b`. On the number line, these solutions look like arrows on the outside of the values `-b` and `b`. This works for `≥` as well.
