solution or inequality ?

anonymous · Answer

@ParthKohli

parthkohli · Answer

|2x - 7| > 1

So

2x - 7 > 1
or
2x - 7 < -1

anonymous · Answer

So solution ?

parthkohli · Answer

Solve both equations.

anonymous · Answer

^ "inequalities," not "equations," Grammar Nazi.  ;-)

anonymous · Answer

I don't get it -_-

anonymous · Answer

Solve the inequalities as if they were equations.

anonymous · Answer

@ParthKohli  if I solve them they will get the same answer

parthkohli · Answer

Sorry, I had an absolute value equation running in my mind. lol

anonymous · Answer

Not so, one equals 1, the other equals -1.

anonymous · Answer

So it is a solution ?

anonymous · Answer

There are two solutions because you have two equations (inequalities).

anonymous · Answer

@CliffSedge  I get that but my test is only asking me if it's a solution or an inequality

anonymous · Answer

Treat 

2x - 7 > 1
2x - 7 < -1

As if it were

2x - 7 = 1
2x - 7 = -1

and solve both for x.

anonymous · Answer

Oh so that's the equation ?

anonymous · Answer

"...my test is only asking me if it's a solution or an inequality "

I don't understand that question.

You can find a solution to the statement and the solution will be an inequality.

anonymous · Answer

My book says solve for each inequality. If there is no solution write no solution

anonymous · Answer

Ok, then solve the inequalities as I explained.
