Convert to Set Notation

Remove the absolute value term. This creates a on the right-hand side of the equation because |x| = x.

3 2x (x)
Set up the + portion of the solution.
3 2x x
Move all terms not containing x to the right-hand side of the inequality.
More Steps

3 3x 0
Since 3 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the inequality by
subtracting 3 from both sides.
3x 3
Divide each term in the inequality by 3.
More Steps

x1
Set up the portion of the solution. When solving the portion of an inequality, flip the direction of the
inequality sign.

3 2x (x)
Multiply 1 by the x inside the parentheses.
3 2x x
Since x contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the inequality by adding x to
both sides.

3 2x + x 0
Since 2x and x are like terms, subtract x from 2x to get x.
3x0
Since 3 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the inequality by
subtracting 3 from both sides.
x 3
Divide each term in the inequality by 1.
More Steps

x3
The solution to the inequality includes both the positive and negative versions of the absolute value.
x 1 or x 3
The solution is the set of values where x 1orx 3.

x 1x3

Convert the inequality to set notation.
