Accepted Solution

A:
The correct answer is the second graph. It is the one with open circles at -3 and 3 and a line connecting them.

To find this, you just solve the equation like a regular equation. Subtract 3 from both sides and then divide by 5.

You will get that the absolute value of x is less than -3. Therefore, x must be in between -3 and 3.
