Q. Solve for yy.\newliney+9<13|y| + 9 < 13\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. Isolate y |y| : We have the inequality: \newline |y| + 9 < 13 \newlineFirst, we isolate y |y| by subtracting 9 9 from both sides of the inequality.\newline |y| + 9 - 9 < 13 - 9 \newline |y| < 4
  2. Interpret absolute value inequality: Now we interpret the absolute value inequality. The expression |y| < 4 means that yy is less than 44 units away from 00 on the number line. This gives us two inequalities:\newliney < 4 and y > -4
  3. Combine into compound inequality: We can combine these two inequalities into a compound inequality:\newline-4 < y < 4\newlineThis compound inequality represents all the values of yy that are more than 4-4 and less than 44.
