| x - 5 | ≥ 3 could someone help me with this one please? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK ... get rid of the absolute value first as follows:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x-5>=3 or x-5<= 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have now x>=5-3 ---> x>=2 or x<=3-5 ---> x<=-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks a million :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any time :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, i dropped a sign here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x-5>=3 or x-5<= -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have now x>=5+3 ---> x>=8 or x<=-3+5 ---> x<=2
