How to solve a absolute value inequality

The video tutorial explains how to solve absolute value inequalities by creating two cases or equations. It covers basic examples with numbers and variables, introduces compound inequalities, and demonstrates graphing and solving these inequalities. The tutorial also emphasizes the importance of isolating absolute values before setting up cases, using inverse operations to simplify expressions.

Describe the difference between a compound inequality formed from a 'less than' and one formed from a 'greater than'.

How do you isolate the absolute value before setting up the two cases?
