About Solving Absolute Value Inequalities:
When we solve absolute value inequalities, we revisit the concept of absolute value. To think about a scenario such as: |x| < 3, we find all numbers whose absolute value is less than 3. When we think about an alternative scenario such as: |x| > 3, we find all numbers whose absolute value is larger than 3.
