Question 54592: 62. 1/3 [ 2x - 1 ] greater than 1
the brackets after the 1/3 and after -1 stand for the absolute value sign i do not knwo how to put that in
72. 3x – 7 ] greater than or equal to -3
like i said i do not knwo how to put in for an absolute value for the greater than signs
Can you please help and maybe offer me assistance in how to put the sign in the equation
thank you in advance

You can put this solution on YOUR website! These are the steps you will use for both of your problems.
Isolate the absolute value on one side of the inequality sign.
If the inequality sign is now |x|>k, solve two problems for x: x>k or x<-k.

:
72)
This one is solvable without solving it |x|>-k is all real numbers, the opposite |x|<-k is no solution. Because absolute values result in positive numbers. Let's solve it for fun anyways:
 or 
 or 
 or 
 or 
 or 
That is all real numbers, let me show you why on a number line:
x>1 1/3 or x< 3 1/3
<<=======[============]=======>>
-1,0,1,1 1/3, 2, 3, 3 1/3, 4
I know it's hard to see, but the whole number line is shaded.
Happy Calculating!!!
