Solve each of the following in equations and represent the solution set on the number line.
3x – 7|> 4, x ϵ R.
Given:
|3x – 7|> 4, x ϵ R.
3x – 7 < -4 or 3x – 7 > 4
(Because |x| > a, a>0 then x < -a and x > a)
3x – 7 < -4
Now, adding 7 to both the sides in the above equation
3x – 7 + 7 < -4 +7
3x < 3
Now, dividing by 3 on both the sides of above equation
x < 1
Now,
3x – 7 > 4
Adding 7 on both the sides in above equation
3x – 7 + 7 > 4 + 7
3x > 11
Now, dividing by 3 on both the sides in the above equation
Therefore,
