  ABSOLUTE VALUE
So let’s rewrite it as:

Inequality 1: -4 > -2x – 8 or
Inequality 2: -2x – 8 > 4

Don’t both of these inequalities look familiar? Recall solving compound inequalities.

Inequality 1:
  • -4 > -2x – 8
  • -4 + 8 > -2x -8 + 8
  •  4  >  -2x 
    -2       -2
-2 < x which could also be written as
(-2, ∞)
Two inequalities
