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
