Hello all,

Please see the question below:

If y≥0, what is the value of x?

(1) |x-3| ≥ y
(2) |x - 3| ≥ - y

OA: B

I thought both statements give the exact same information, but would love to get your guys' views. Many thanks.

can you check statment 2 in your post . If this is statement 2, we cant get B

In https://www.beatthegmat.com/inequality-f ... 23579.html

stmt 2 is |x-3| <= -y.

for this statement, we get B

iamcste, you're right. I made an error in my post. (2) should be |x-3| < -y.

Thank you for the clarification and apologies for the confusion.
