Question:
Solve each of the following in equations and represent the solution set on the number line.
$3 x-7 \mid>4, x \in R$
Solution:
Given:
$|3 x-7|>4, x \in R .$
$3 x-7<-4$ or $3 x-7>4$
(Because $|x|>a, a>0$ then $x<-a$ and $x>a$ )
$3 x-7<-4$
Now, adding 7 to both the sides in the above equation
$3 x-7+7<-4+7$
$3 x<3$
Now, dividing by 3 on both the sides of above equation
$\frac{3 x}{3}<\frac{3}{3}$
$x<1$
Now,
$3 x-7>4$
Adding 7 on both the sides in above equation
$3 x-7+7>4+7$
$3 x>11$
Now, dividing by 3 on both the sides in the above equation
$\frac{3 x}{3}>\frac{11}{3}$
$x>\frac{11}{3}$
Therefore,
$x \in(-\infty, 1) \cup\left(\frac{11}{3}, \infty\right)$
