What is the solution set of |x – 2| > 3?

Parth (parthkohli):

Hint:\[ |x|>5 \implies x>5 \text{ or } x<-5\]

Parth (parthkohli):

According the to example, geometrically, \(x\) has a distance from 0 more than 5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x<5 and x>-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3<x-2<3 means than -1<x<5

Parth (parthkohli):

In the same way,\[|x - 2| > 3 \implies x - 2>3 \text{ or } x - 2<-3 \]

Parth (parthkohli):

Solve both equations individually.

Sorry I misread the greater than sign. Parhtkohli is correct
