Solving inequality
(x+|y|)(x+3)<=0
step by step if possible
Thank you!

So, one of the factors needs to be positive while the other factor is negative. That's two cases:

x<-|y| and x>-3 (that is, -3<x<|y|)
or
x>-|y| and x<-3 (that is, -|y|<x<-3)

Re: Solving inequality
Is there any mobile application as such some handy application for quick reference or kind of calculator for calculations.

Re: Solving inequality
Practice will be preferable rather having habit of using calculator.

Can you please be a bit more elaborative? I am not getting it.

Draw the vertical line x=-3 as a dashed line. Then draw the line y=x beginning at the origin as a dashed line (in the first quadrant). Finally, draw the line y=-x beginning at the origin as a dashed line (in the fourth quadrant). So, the lines y=x and y=-x meet at the origin in a sideways "V" shape. The area between that sideways "V" shape and the dashed line x=-3 is the graphical solution.

Hope this helps.
