The absolute value inequality can be decomposed into two simpler ones.

x < 0

x > -8

<h3></h3><h3>Which two inequalities can be used?</h3>

Here we start with the inequality:

3|x + 4| - 5 < 7

First we need to isolate the absolute value part:

3|x + 4| < 7 + 5

|x + 4| < (7 + 5)/3

|x + 4| < 12/3

|x + 4| < 4

The absolute value inequality can now be decomposed into two simpler ones:

x + 4 < 4

x + 4 > - 4

Solving both of these we get:

x < 4 - 4

x > -4 - 4

x < 0

x > -8

These are the two inequalities.
