Three unit's would be the numbers:

1, 2 and 3.


Any number you choose must be greater than 3 for example:

5, 8 or 10

Let x represent the numbers

The numbers more than 3 units means their distance from zero is more than 3



|x| > 3
This implies that either


x > 3
or


- x > 3

\Rightarrow x < - 3

The solution set is the inequality


x < - 3 \: or \: x > 3

We cannot list them
