The solution is x in (-oo,-7/3]uu [9,+oo)x(,73][9,+)

Explanation:

This is an inequality with absolute values

|10-3x|>=17|103x|17

Therefore,

{(10-3x>=17),(-10+3x>=17):}

<=>, {(3x<=10-17),(3x>=17+10):}

<=>, {(x<=-7/3),(x>=9):}

The solution is

x in (-oo,-7/3]uu [9,+oo)

The graph is

graph{|10-3x|-17 [-25.5, 25.83, -17.22, 8.43]}
