Solve the following inequality: |2x-1|>5
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "my work:
\n" ); document.write( "2x+1>5 2x-1>5
\n" ); document.write( " subtract 1 Add 1
\n" ); document.write( " 2x=4 2x=6 ************** Don't change to equals, won't work
\n" ); document.write( " x=2 x=3
\n" ); document.write( "2x-1 > 5
\n" ); document.write( "2x > 6
\n" ); document.write( "x > 3
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "-(2x-1) > 5
\n" ); document.write( "-2x+1 > 5
\n" ); document.write( "-2x > 4
\n" ); document.write( "x < -2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
