Question

I have come up with what I thought was the correct answer. But, this is a multiple choice question and what I got is not an option, sadly :(
What is the solution set for |x – 2|– 1 > 2?
I was sure that the answer was x>5 or x<1

Answer 1

the first part x > 5 is correct

the next part x < 1 is not

Answer 2

It is x<-1, right?

Answer 3

|x – 2|– 1 > 2

|x – 2| > 2-1

|x – 2| > 1

x-2 > 1 or x-2 < -1


So you should have x-2 < -1 instead of x-2 < 1

Answer 4

yes, x < -1 is your second piece

Answer 5

Using process of elimination, I knew that had to be it

Answer 6

well hopefully you see how to get x < -1
