Q. Solve for tt.\newlinet+2<3|t + 2| < 3\newlineWrite a compound inequality like 1<x<31 < x < 3 or like x<1x < 1 or x>3x > 3. Use integers, proper fractions, or improper fractions in simplest form.\newline______
  1. Apply Absolute Value Definition: We have the inequality |t + 2| < 3. To solve for tt, we need to consider the definition of absolute value, which states that |x| < a implies -a < x < a. We will apply this to our inequality.
  2. Rewrite Inequality: We rewrite the inequality without the absolute value: -3 < t + 2 < 3. This means that t+2t + 2 must be greater than 3-3 and less than 33 simultaneously.
  3. Solve for tt: Now we solve for tt by subtracting 22 from all parts of the inequality: -3 - 2 < t + 2 - 2 < 3 - 2, which simplifies to -5 < t < 1.
  4. Final Solution: The compound inequality we have obtained is -5 < t < 1. This is the solution to the original inequality |t + 2| < 3.
