The solution is x in(-7,4)

Explanation:

There are 2 solutions for equation with absolute values.

|2x+3|<11

2x+3<11 and -2x-3<11

2x<8 and 2x > -14

x<4 and x > -7

The solutions are

S_1=x in( -oo, 4)

S_2=x in (-7,+oo)

Therefore,

S=S_1nnS_2

=x in ( -7, 4)

graph{(y-|2x+3|)(y-11)=0 [-5.55, 6.934, -0.245, 5.995]}
