How does solving absolute value inequalities relate to solving compound inequalities?

An absolute value inequality is solved by re-writing it as compound inequality. For example.

|x+1| < 5

Since the value inside the absolute value brackets: (x+1) can be positive or negative, it is re-written as a compound inequality as the example below.

x+1 < 5

x+1 > - 5

solve for the range of values x can be

-6 < x < 4

maya’s expression will generate the wrong sum because she violated the commutative property.
