Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\left(-\infty,-\dfrac{1}{2}\right] \cup[3, \infty)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given system of inequalities is \(5 - 4x \leq -7\) or \(5 - 4x \geq 7\). Solving the first inequality: \(5 - 4x \leq -7\) \(-4x \leq -7 - 5\) \(-4x \leq -12\) Dividing by \(-4\) reverses the inequality sign: \(x \geq \dfrac{-12}{-4}\) \(x \geq 3\) Solving the second…
