The solution set of the inequality \(|3x| \ge |6 - 3x|\) is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → \([1, \infty)\)
Both sides are non-negative, so squaring keeps the inequality:
\(9x^2 \ge (6 - 3x)^2\)
\(9x^2 \ge 36 - 36x + 9x^2\)
\(36x \ge 36\)
\(x \ge 1\)
The solution set is \([1, \infty)\); x = 1 is included because the two sides are equal there (3 = 3).
Shortcut: Dividing by 3, \(|x| \ge |x - 2|\): the distance of x from 0 is at least its distance from 2. That holds exactly for points on or to the right of the midpoint 1, so \(x \ge 1\).
