Answer

$t\leq -\frac{2}{3}$ or $t\geq 3$ The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow |6t-7|-8\geq 3$ Add $8$ to each side. $\Rightarrow |6t-7|-8+8\geq 3+8$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow |6t-7|\geq 11$ Write a compound inequality. $\Rightarrow 6t-7\leq -11$ or $6t-7\geq 11$ Add $7$ to each side. $\Rightarrow 6t-7+7\leq -11+7$ or $6t-7+7\geq 11+7$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 6t\leq -4$ or $6t\geq 18$ Divide each side by $6$. $\Rightarrow \frac{6t}{6}\leq \frac{-4}{6}$ or $\frac{6t}{6}\geq \frac{18}{6}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow t\leq -\frac{2}{3}$ or $t\geq 3$ Hence, the solution is $t\leq -\frac{2}{3}$ or $t\geq 3$.
