Question 618794: Can you please help me to solve this equation. I have tried but am getting frustrated. I hope you understand what I am typing since it involves absolute value but I am not quite sure about how to type it out. Any help would be appreciated and please show work! Again thanks in advance.
-5\4x-3\+4>14
Again I apologize if you don't understand it but I don't know the exact way to type absolute value.

-5\4x-3\+4>14
-5|4x-3|+4>14
solve for 2 conditions: (4x-3) and -(4x-3)
..
-5|4x-3|+4>14
-5(4x-3)+4>14
-20x+15+4>14
-20x+19>14
-20x>-5
Divide by -20 and reverse inequality sign
x<5/20
x<1/4
..
-5|4x-3|+4>14
-5*-(4x-3)+4>14
20x-15+4>14
20x-11>14
20x>24
x>24/20
x>6/5
..
solution:(in interval notation)
(-∞, 1/4) U (6/5,∞)
