Q. Solve for ss.\newlines+34|s| + 3 \leq 4\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 absolute value term: We have the inequality s+34|s| + 3 \leq 4. The first step is to isolate the absolute value term s|s| by subtracting 33 from both sides of the inequality.\newlines+3343|s| + 3 - 3 \leq 4 - 3\newlines1|s| \leq 1
  2. Consider absolute value definition: Now that we have s1|s| \leq 1, we need to consider the definition of absolute value. The absolute value of a number is the distance from zero on the number line, so s1|s| \leq 1 means that ss is within 11 unit of zero. This gives us two inequalities: s1s \leq 1 and s1-s \leq 1 (which is equivalent to s1s \geq -1).
  3. Combine inequalities: Combining the two inequalities from the previous step, we get the compound inequality:\newline1s1-1 \leq s \leq 1\newlineThis inequality represents all the values of ss that are within 11 unit of zero on the number line.
