vertical line x vertical line less than 5  means x is between negative 5  and 5. So, vertical line x vertical line greater than 5  means x is outside the interval from negative 5  to 5. You can say x less than negative 5 , or , x greater than 5 .

A manufactured item's actual measurements and its target measurements can differ by a certain amount, called tolerance. Tolerance is one half the difference of the maximum and minimum acceptable values. You can use absolute value inequalities to describe tolerance.
