[-3,2]
(-3,2)
Transcript text: The solution to an absolute value inequality is shown on the graph below.
What is another way to show the solution?
$x>-3$ or $x<2$
$\{x \mid x<-3$ or $x<2\}$
$[-3,2]$
$(-3,2)$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Analyze the graph
The graph shows values less than 2 and greater than -3, with open circles at 2 and -3. This means the values 2 and -3 are not included in the solution.
Step 2: Convert the graph to inequality notation
The graph represents all _x_ values less than 2 or greater than -3. This is written as _x_ < 2 or _x_ > -3.
Step 3: Compare with answer choices
The first option, _x_ > -3 or _x_ < 2, correctly describes the graph.
