To solve the absolute value inequality \( 2|x+5| < 8 \), the first step is to isolate the absolute value by dividing both sides by 2, which gives us:

\[ |x + 5| < 4 \]

This leads us to the "and rule" for absolute values, which states that if \( |A| < B \) (where \( B > 0 \)), then \(-B < A < B\).

In this case, we can rewrite the inequality as:

\[ -4 < x + 5 < 4 \]

Now, we can solve this double inequality:

  1. Subtract 5 from all parts: \[ -4 - 5 < x < 4 - 5 \] \[ -9 < x < -1 \]

Therefore, the appropriate response is:

"and rule"
