Is lX-3l > 7?

(1) X > 10
(2) X < -4

[bkparikh]

IMO D

The question asks:
x - 3 > 7 --> x > 10
- (x - 3) > 7 --> x < - 4

in terms of a number line (where * represents possible solutions), you see that both are sufficient

******-4 ----0--------10******

one more answer for d
/x-3/>7 so we have -7>x-3>7. x>10 and -4>x
does x belongs to the intervals __________ -4 10_________
(1) sufficient directly x>10
(2) sufficient directly x<-4

[bretania]

Guys, you're both right here. The OA is D.

[madhur_ahuja]

Agree with D

[rb999]

D, easy

[rb999]

for these questions, pick really small numbers, like 10.1 and -4.1 to see if it works.
