I believe that the expected answer is \"abs%28x-5%29%3E2\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Mid-way between 3 and 7 on the number line is their average, \"5=%283%2B7%29%2F2\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"number_line%28+600%2C+-2%2C+12%2C+%285-2%29%2C+5%2C+%285%2B2%29+%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Numbers that are more than \"2\" units away from \"5\" are
\n" ); document.write( "either to the left of \"3\" as is \"x%3C3\"
\n" ); document.write( "or to the right of \"7\" as in \"x%3E7\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Absolute value of a difference of two numbers is the distance between those two numbers on the number line.
\n" ); document.write( "Inequalities that use absolute value of \"%28x-number%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "can have solutions that includes numbers at less than a certain distance from the number or at more than a certain distance from the number.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"abs%28x-10%29%3C4\" <--> \"6%3Cx%3C14\" means numbers less than \"4\" units away from \"10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"abs%28x-10%29%3E4\" <--> \"system%28x%3C6%2Cx%3E14%29\" means numbers more than \"4\" units away from \"10\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
