here's how you solve it

|3x+11| > 2

apply the absolute rule so you get two equations

3x+11 < -2 3x+11 > 2

in both equations subtract 11 from both sides

11-11 = 0 -2-11 = -13 11-11 = 0 2-11 = -9

this leaves you with

3x < -13 3x > -9

in both equations divide 3 on both sides

3x/3 = x -13/3 3x/3= x -9/3 = -3

and in the end you get

x < -13/3 or x > -3
