Math Problem Statement

3|x-10|+4>10

Solution

To solve the inequality 3x10+4>103|x - 10| + 4 > 10, follow these steps:

  1. Isolate the absolute value expression: 3x10+4>103|x - 10| + 4 > 10 Subtract 4 from both sides: 3x10>63|x - 10| > 6 Divide both sides by 3: x10>2|x - 10| > 2

  2. Consider the definition of absolute value: The inequality x10>2|x - 10| > 2 means that the expression inside the absolute value is either greater than 2 or less than -2: x10>2orx10<2x - 10 > 2 \quad \text{or} \quad x - 10 < -2

  3. Solve each case:

    • For x10>2x - 10 > 2: x>12x > 12
    • For x10<2x - 10 < -2: x<8x < 8
  4. Write the solution: The solution is x>12x > 12 or x<8x < 8.

In interval notation, this is: x(,8)(12,)x \in (-\infty, 8) \cup (12, \infty)
