"number line with open circles on negative 9 and 5, shading going in the opposite directions."

Step-by-step explanation:

Your inequality doesn't include an equal sign so there will be no closed holes. It will only be open holes.

|u|>14 means that the number u has to be greater than 14 or less than -14.  These numbers I describe just now all have a distance greater than 14 from 0.

So |u|>14 implies u>14 or u<-14.

But we are solving |2x+4|>14 so this implies we have 2x+4>14 or 2x+4<-14.

2x+4>14

Subtract 4 on both sides:

2x    >10

Divide both sides by 2:

x      >5

2x+4<-14

Subtract 4 on both sides:

2x    <-18

Divide both sides by 2:

x      <-9

So our solution is x>5 or x<-9.

Graphing!

O                                         O

(-9)(5)

So we shaded to the right of 5 because our inequality says x is bigger than 5.

We shaded to the left of -9 because our inequality says x is less than -9.
