We are told that the distance between q and –1 on the number line equals 5
Now, q can be positive or negative.
If q is positive, then q = 4 to ensure that the distance between q and -1 is 5
if q is negative, then q = -6 to ensure that the distance between q and -1 is 5
Therefore, |q| = 4 or 6, either way |q| is greater than 3.
Therefore, Choice A is the correct answer.
Now, q can be positive or negative.
If q is positive, then q = 4 to ensure that the distance between q and -1 is 5
if q is negative, then q = -6 to ensure that the distance between q and -1 is 5

Therefore, Choice A is the correct answer.
