Answer

$(-\infty ,-\frac{14}{3}] \cup[2,\infty)$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $\left | 3x+4 \right |\geq10$ Remove the absolute value bars. $3x+4 \leq -10$ or $3x+4 \geq10$ Subtract $4$ from both sides. $3x+4-4 \leq -10-4$ or $3x+4-4 \geq10-4$ Simplify. $3x \leq -14$ or $3x \geq6$ Divide both sides by $3$. $\frac{3x}{3} \leq \frac{-14}{3}$ or $\frac{3x}{3} \geq \frac{6}{3}$ Simplify. $x \leq -\frac{14}{3}$ or $x \geq 2$ The solution set is $(-\infty ,-\frac{14}{3}] \cup[2,\infty)$.
