Solve
4 - 3|x + 1| < -17

x > 6, x < -8

Subtract 4 from both sides.

−3∣x+1∣<−17−4

Then simplify -17 - 4 to -21.

−3∣x+1∣<−21

Divide both sides by −3.

|x + 1| > -21/-3

Two negatives make a positive.

|x + 1| > 21/3

simplify 21/3 to 7

Break down the problem into these 2 equations.

x + 1 > 7

-(x + 1) > 7

Solve the 1st equation: x + 1 > 7

x > 6

Solve the 2nd equation: -(x + 1) > 7

x < -8

last collect all solutions

x > 6, x < -8

easy its decreasing

step-by-step explanation:

because its top point is at the to of the graph on the left side (atleast from the veiw i see it) now if that top point wast in the lower part of the graph it would be increasing hope this have a nice day

shell's the art director at her local community center. she paid $10 and for each child that attends she earns $4.

for each child she ears $4 that is the slope m = 4

she paid $10, that is the initial amount paid. so 10 is the y intercept b

m =4   and b = 10

y intercept is 10 so the point is (0,10)

we start graph from y intercept (0,10)

slope = 4 . we know slope = rise / run

slope = 4   or 4/1   are same

rise = 4   and run = 1

for rise we move 4 units up and for run we move 1 unit to the right

the graph is attached below

x axis is the number of child she attends

y axis is the amount   she earns
