Answer

$(-\infty,1)\cup(2,\infty)$. The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $\Rightarrow 2\left | 2 x-3\right |+10\gt12$ Subtract $10$ from both sides. $\Rightarrow 2\left | 2 x-3\right |+10-10\gt12-10$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 2\left | 2 x-3\right |\gt2$ Divide both sides by $2$. $\Rightarrow \frac{2\left | 2 x-3\right |}{2}\gt\frac{2}{2}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow \left | 2 x-3\right |\gt1$ Rewrite the inequality without absolute value bars. $\Rightarrow 2x-3\lt-1$ or $2x-3\gt1$ Solve each inequality separately. Add $3$ to all parts. $\Rightarrow 2x-3+3\lt-1+3$ or $2x-3+3\gt1+3$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 2x\lt2$ or $2x\gt4$ Divide all parts by $2$. $\Rightarrow \frac{2x}{2}\lt\frac{2}{2}$ or $\frac{2x}{2}\gt\frac{4}{2}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow x\lt1$ or $x\gt2$ The solution set is less than $1$ or greater than $2$. The interval notation is $(-\infty,1)\cup(2,\infty)$.
