Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{|x+7|\geq2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

$|x-a|\geq b\\\\a=\dfrac{-9+(-5)}{2}=\dfrac{-14}{2}=-7\\\\b=-9-(-7)=-9+7=-2\\b=-5-(-7)=-5+7=2\\\\|x-(-7)|\geq2\\\\|x+7|\geq2\\\\Check:\\\\|x+7|\geq2\iff x+7\geq2\ \vee\ x+7\leq-2\qquad\text{subtract 7 from both sides}\\\\x+7-7\geq2-7\ \vee\ x+7-7\leq-2-7\\\\x\geq-5\ \vee\ x\leq-9\qquad CORRECT\ :)$
