Answer:

x > -17/6 or x < -1/2

Explanation:

4 |3x + 5| + 20 > 6

4 |3x + 5| > -14

|3x + 5| > -14/4

This is where the two equations split.

+:

3x + 5 > -14/4

3x > -17/4

x > -17/6

-:

- (3x + 5) > -14/4

3x + 5 < 14/4

3x < -3/2

x < -1/2

Supposedly these are your answers, but if I'm incorrect, please let me know. I don't see an option for you on that picture though.
