Given Inequality: We are given the inequality |p + 1| < 9. We need to consider two cases for the absolute value: one where the expression inside the absolute value is positive, and one where it is negative.
Case $1$ : Non-negative Expression: First, let's consider the case where the expression inside the absolute value is non-negative, which means $p + 1$ is already positive. We can remove the absolute value signs: $\newline$ p + 1 < 9 $\newline$ Now, we solve for $p$ by subtracting $1$ from both sides: $\newline$ p + 1 - 1 < 9 - 1 $\newline$ p < 8
Case $2$ : Negative Expression: Next, we consider the case where the expression inside the absolute value is negative, which means we need to take the opposite of the expression inside to remove the absolute value signs: $\newline$ - (p + 1) < 9 $\newline$ Now, we distribute the negative sign: $\newline$ -p - 1 < 9 $\newline$ We solve for $p$ by adding $1$ to both sides and then multiplying by $-1$ to get $p$ alone: $\newline$ -p - 1 + 1 < 9 + 1 $\newline$ -p < 10 $\newline$ Multiplying by $-1$ (and remembering to reverse the inequality sign): $\newline$ p > -10
Combining Cases: Combining the two cases, we get a compound inequality: $\newline$ -10 < p < 8 $\newline$ This means $p$ is greater than $-10$ and less than $8$ .
