Answer:
D
Explanation:
The absolute value always gives a positive result. However the expression inside can be positive or negative , so
x + 2 - 1 > 3 or - (x + 2) - 1 > 3
x + 1 > 3 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
x > 2
or
- (x + 2) - 1 > 3
- x - 2 - 1 > 3
- x - 3 > 3 ( add 3 to both sides )
- x > 6
Multiply both sides by - 1, reversing the symbol as a result of multiplying by a negative quantity.
x < - 6
solution is x < - 6 or x > 2
