Answer:x=90° y=58° z=32°

Step-by-step explanation:

x=90

y=180-(90+32) sum of angles in a triangle is 180

y=58

y+90+z=180 they are supplementary

58+90+z=180

148+z=180

z=180-148

z=32

ANSWER

See attachment

EXPLANATION

The given inequality is

$|x| \: > \: \frac{3}{2}$

This implies that,

$x\: > \: \frac{3}{2} \: or \: - x\: > \: \frac{3}{2}$

Multiply both sides of the second inequality by -1 and reverse the inequality sign.

$x\: > \: \frac{3}{2} \: or \: x\: < \: - \frac{3}{2}$

The graphical solution to this inequality is shown in the attachment.
