Consider the absolute value inequality: |x - 6| > 20. Will the graph of the solutions to the inequality result in an "and" or an "or" inequality? Without solving to find the exact solutions, explain

Explanation:

Case 1 : |x| > a, => x > a or x < -a

Case 2 : |x| < a, => -a < x < a

Since this question follows Case 1, we will have an "or" inequality.
