As much as I love to learn multiple approaches, I tend to confuse myself as I get easily mixed up. So, I stuck to one approach which pretty much worked so far (at leas...

GMATGuru - I love how amazingly simple your Control Points method is. Does it work for any inequality? I have cross checked on a couple of expressions and it DID! But what if there is a <= or >=, should I just replace it with < and > in the final range? Finally, I have a general question around abso...

Hi Blackboxx, What is the source of this question? Did it come from a GMAT book or from a math book? And where are the answer choices? Having those answer choices would give you some valuable "hints" as to what the solution would be. Hello Rich - Thanks for the super quick response. Sadly...

What is the range of solutions for |x^2-4| > 3x ?

Hello experts, What is the range of solutions for |x^2-4| > 3x ? I solved it like this: http://s25.postimg.org/a9mppfx0v/Graph.png and evidently, it yields an incorrect solution. What am I missing here? As it is, inequalities get on me nerves and add to that an absolute operator. Gee... does GMAT ev...
