This problem has many answers because inequalities have infinitely many solutions. The easiest one is |x| > 1 which breaks into two inequalities: x > 1, -x > 1 Solve the second one for x by dividing both sides by -1 which will reverse the inequality: x > 1, x < -1 That has solution <==================o-----o==================> -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (-∞,-1)U(1,∞) which contains both 3 and -5 as two of its infinitely many solutions.
