Answer

$(-\infty,\dfrac{-7}{3} ) \cup (5, \infty)$

Work Step by Step

Here, $|3x-4| \gt 11$ As per definition of absolute value, we have $|x|=\pm x$ $3x-4 \gt 11$ and $3x-4 \gt -11$ Thus, $3x \gt 11+4$ and $3x \gt -11+4$ or, $x\gt 5$ and $ x \lt \dfrac{-7}{3}$ Hence, our solution set is: $(-\infty,\dfrac{-7}{3} ) \cup (5, \infty)$
