Solution Steps
Step 1: Analyze the absolute value inequality
The given inequality is:
\[
|6x + 4| < -8
\]
The absolute value of any real number is always non-negative, meaning \( |6x + 4| \geq 0 \). Since \( -8 \) is negative, the inequality \( |6x + 4| < -8 \) has no solution because a non-negative number cannot be less than a negative number.
Step 2: Determine the solution set
Since the inequality \( |6x + 4| < -8 \) has no real solution, the correct choice is:
\[
\text{C. There is no real solution.}
\]
Step 3: Graph the solution set
There is no solution to graph on the real number line because the inequality has no real solutions.
