Answer: The required solution is
x>0~\textup{or}~x<0.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the solution of the following inequality:


|3x|>0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We know that,

If
|x|>a, then we have


x>a~~~~~~\textup{or}~~~~~~x<-a.

From inequality (i), we get


|3x|>0\\\\\Rightarrow 3x>0~~~~~\textup{or}~~~~~3x<-0\\\\\Rightarrow x>(0)/(3)~~~~~~~~~~~~\Rightarrow 3x<0\\\\ \Rightarrow x>3~~~~~~~~~~~~~\Rightarrow x<(0)/(3)\\\\\Rightarrow x>3~~~~~~~~~~~~~\Rightarrow x<0.

Thus, the required solution is
x>0~\textup{or}~x<0.
