Add 1
  |2x +3| < 5
Unfold
  -5 < 2x +3 < 5
Subtract 3
  -8 < 2x < 2
Divide by 2
  -4 < x < 1

The solution is
  -4 < x < 1

_____
If you subtract 4 from both sides, you get an expression that compares to zero. Most graphing calculators will show you the zero-crossings, so you can easily find the values of x where this is true.

MAXImum [283]
You are given a commission of $10 for $100 in sales. You are to find the commission for $150 in sales. It is stated in the problem that the salesman’s commission varies directly as his sales. Directly means proportional, and so this relationship has a constant. Let us say the salesman commission is c and his sales is s. Let us also denote k as our constant.  

C = ks
$10 = k($100)
k = 0.1  

We need to find the salesman commission in $150 sales.  

C = ks
C = (0.1)($150)
<u>C = $15</u>
