Solving Absolute Value Inequalties with Greater Than

Here's another one:

| x | > 1
 

a number line indicating that x must live below -1 or above 1 (but not equal to -1 or 1)
 

x < -1 or x > 1

 

YOUR TURN:

Explain the answer to this:

| x | is greater than or equal to 2

Now, check this guy out:

| blob | is greater than or equal to 3
 

a number line indicating that blob lives at or below -3 or that it lives at or above 3


blob is less than or equal to -3 or blob is greater than or equal to 3
