Math Problem Statement

|3x-6|>3

Solution

To solve the inequality 3x6>3|3x - 6| > 3, we need to break it into two cases based on the definition of absolute values.

Case 1: 3x6>33x - 6 > 3

Solve for xx:

3x6>33x - 6 > 3

Add 6 to both sides:

3x>93x > 9

Now, divide both sides by 3:

x>3x > 3

Case 2: 3x6<33x - 6 < -3

Solve for xx:

3x6<33x - 6 < -3

Add 6 to both sides:

3x<33x < 3

Now, divide both sides by 3:

x<1x < 1

Final solution:

The solution to 3x6>3|3x - 6| > 3 is:

x<1orx>3x < 1 \quad \text{or} \quad x > 3

In interval notation, the solution is:

(,1)(3,)(-\infty, 1) \cup (3, \infty)
