Which of the following inequalities is an algebric expression for the shaded part of the number line?

FIGURE DESCRIPTION: Shaded part is the part on number line from -5 to 3 inclusive

(A) |X| LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 3

(B) |X| LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 5

(C) |X-2| LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 3

(D) |X-1| LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 3

(E) |X+1| LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 4

SOURCE OG-12 (#130)

What is asked exactly here?

---------- -5 ----------------- x -------------- 3 -----------------


The question is asking which inequality expresses the region

-5<= x <= 3

|x+1| <= 4
x+1 <= 4 and -x-1 <= 4
x<=3 and x >= -5
-5<= x <= 3

HI )

Would you be so kind to explain this ex.:

How many integers n greater then 10 and less then 100 are there such that, the resulting integer is n-9?
A 5
B 6
&#1057; 7
D 8
E 9

Oh!!
So we just need to remove absolute sign and find two values of x that defines endpoints of shaded line.
Never faced this kind of question before, was confused by language
Thanks
