What is the solution set for |x – 2|– 1 > 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

start with \[|x-2|>3\] then solve \[x-2<-3\] or \[x-2>3\] separately

OpenStudy (sarahc):

how do you solve that?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

for each, add 2 to each side

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ex: first inequality x-2<-3 x-2 + 2<-3 + 2 x + 0 < -1 x < -1 do the same for the other inequaltiy

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

inequality*

OpenStudy (sarahc):

So, x>5?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so x < -1 or x > 5

OpenStudy (sarahc):
