Answer

$ x > 35/3$ or $x < -25/3$

Work Step by Step

$ abs (\frac{3x-5}{6}) > 5$ $(\frac{3x-5}{6}) > 5$ or $(\frac{3x-5}{6}) < -5$ $ (\frac{3x-5}{6}) > 5$ $ (\frac{3x-5}{6})*6 > 5*6$ $3x-5 > 30$ $3x-5+5 > 30+5$ $3x > 35$ $3x/3 > 35/3$ $ x > 35/3$ $(\frac{3x-5}{6}) < -5$ $(\frac{3x-5}{6})*6 < -5*6$ $3x-5 < -30$ $3x-5+5 < -30+5$ $3x < -25$ $3x/3 < -25/3$ $x < -25/3$
