@_@ so confusing @-@

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

|5x+2|>3 |5x|>1 |x|>1/5 so x must be in the intervals: [-infinity, -1/5) or (1/5, infinity]

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

sorry I did this wrong. it should be as follows: |5x+3| > 3 let y=5x+3, so |y| > 3 so y must be in the intervals: [-infinity, -3) or (3, infinity] so 5x+2 < -3 or 5x+2 > 3 so 5x < -5 or 5x > 1 so x < -1 or x > 1/5 so x must be in the intervals: [-infinity, -1) or (1/5, infinity]

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

so answer is (a)

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

i guess you can never get to infinity, so correct interval cannot include it.
