Question

I dont get how to solve this?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In standard form this could be rewritten as | b - 0 | > 6, which in words, says,

"b is greater than 6 units away from 0 on a number line".  If b is greater than 6 units away, both positive 6 and negative 6 are 6 units away from 0.  Because the values we need are greater than 6 units away from 0, we are starting at both 6 and -6 and moving away from 0.  

The "greater than" symbol indicates that this is a disjunction so the word "or" is used as opposed to in a conjunction where the word "and" is used.

Therefore, our solutions are

b < -6 or b > 6, the 3rd choice down
