Haney · Answer 1

Draw a number line. Locate the origin and x = - 2. Beginning at x = - 2, move 3 units to the right. You'll end up at x = 1. Next, beginning at x = - 2, move 3 units to the left. You'll end up at x = - 5.

The solution set consists of all real numbers greater than 1 or less than - 5.

(-infinity, - 5) OR (1, + infinity)
