    Answer: B

    ( - 3, infinity)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that

    |p| = 3/4x+2

    |q| = 2x+1

    |p+q| = 2/3x-2

    |p| + |q| = |p+q|

    That is

    3/4x+2 + 2x+1 = 2/3x-2

    (3x + 8) / 4 + 2x + 1 = (2x - 6) / 3

    (3x + 8 + 8x + 4) / 4 = (2x - 6) / 3

    Cross multiply

    9x + 24 + 24x + 12 = 8x - 24

    Collect the like terms

    33x + 36 = 8x - 24

    33x - 8x = - 24 - 36

    25x = - 60

    X = - 60/25

    X = - 2.4

    X should fall on the interval of

    (-3, infinity)
