|8x - 1| - 7 > -11

I know the answer is no solution , but I dont know why?

Are you saying that somebody told you the answer?

That is not the correct answer.

Add 7 to both sides, to isolate the absolute-value expression.

Next, consider the sign of |8x - 1|. This expression is always greater than any negative number, yes?

What do you think now? :cool:
