we have the inequality

$\lvert5x+4\rvert\leq10$

step 1

Find out the first solution (positive case)

$\begin{gathered} +(5x+4)\leq10 \\ 5x\leq10-4 \\ 5x\leq6 \\ x\leq\frac{6}{5} \\ x\leq1.20 \end{gathered}$

The first solution is all real numbers less than or equal to 1.20

Interval (-infinite,1.20]

step 2

Find out the second solution (negative case)

$-(5x+4)\leq10$

Multiply by -1 both sides

$\begin{gathered} (5x+4)\ge-10 \\ 5x\ge-10-4 \\ 5x\ge-14 \\ x\ge-\frac{14}{5} \\ x\ge-2.8 \end{gathered}$

The second solution is all real numbers greater than or equal to -2.8

the interval [-2.8, infinite)

step 3

Find out the solution to the given inequality

The solution is

[-2.8, infinite) ∩ (-infinite,1.20]=[-2.8,1.20]

the solution is the interval [-2.8,1.20]

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Virty [35]

A+B)^2 is the largest. It is A^2+2AB+B^2, which is clearly greater than the last two options. To compare (A+B)^2 and 2(A+B), we remove one A+B so that we're just comparing A+B and 2. As A+B must be at least 3 (as both must be positive integers, and one must be greater than the other, leading to a minimum value of A=2, B=1), A+B is greater than 2, and as a result, (A+B)^2 is always the largest.
