We have that <span> |x+6| >= 5 step 1 resolve for (x+6)>=5------> x>=5-6-------> x>= -1 the solution is the interval </span>(-1, ∞) <span> step 2 resolve for -(x+6) >=5------> -x-6 >=5----> -x >= 5+6---> -x>=11----> x<=-11 </span>the solution is the interval (-∞, -11) <span> using a graph tool see the attached figure
the solution is the interval (-</span>∞, -11) ∩ (-1, ∞)
