⚠ 2x is read as the product 2*x: for a power, write 2^x ⚠ |1-2x| is read as the absolute value abs(1-2x) Let's solve in ℝ: abs(1 -2x) > 7 abs(A) > B means that: A > B or A < -B Let's solve in ℝ: 1 -2x > 7 1 -7 > 2x -6 > 2x x < -62 Solution obtained: x < -3 Let's solve in ℝ: 1 -2x < -7 1 + 7 < 2x 8 < 2x x > 82 Solution found: x > 4 ▶Solution: x ∈ (-∞, -3) ∪ (4, +∞)
