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

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

for the absolute value you need to find 2 solutions (-) and (+) so you have x-2>3 and x-2<-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the solution set for |x – 2|– 1 > 2? x > 5 or x < –1 x < 5 or x > –1 x > –5 or x < 1 x < 5 or x > –5

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

this is how you do this problem: {x-2}-1>2 +1 +1 ------------ {x-2} > 3, then you have x-2>3 solve for x

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

the second equation would be: {x-2}-1<-2 (switch both signe the + to - and the > to <

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got c

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

then you have {x-2} -1 < -2 +1 +1 ------------ x-2 <-1 solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not 100% sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no wait its either the first answer or second one

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

no it is actually x>5 or x<-1

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

first you convert as follows: x - 2 > 3 or x - 2 < -3

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

then you have x - 2 > 3 x - 2 < -3 +2 +2 and +2 +2 ---------- ----------- x > 5 x < -1
