Answer

$f\lt 3$ or $f\gt 3$ The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow 6|-f+3|+7\gt7$ Subtract $7$ from each side. $\Rightarrow 6|-f+3|+7-7\gt7-7$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 6|-f+3|\gt0$ Divide each side by $6$. $\Rightarrow \frac{6|-f+3|}{6}\gt\frac{0}{6}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow |-f+3|\gt0$ Write a compound inequality. $\Rightarrow -f+3\lt 0$ or $-f+3\gt 0$ Add $f$ to each side. $\Rightarrow -f+3+f\lt 0+f$ or $-f+3+f\gt 0+f$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 3\lt f$ or $3\gt f$ Hence, the solution is $f\lt 3$ or $f\gt 3$.
