To solve |x-3 over|+2
<6
Solution:
|(x-3)/2|
+2 < 6.
Subtract 2 from both
sides:
|(x-3)/2| +2 - 2 <
6-2
|(x-3)/2| <
4.
Case i:
If (x-3) >
3, then (x-3)/2 < 4. Multiply by 2 both sides:
x-3
< 4*2 = 8 . Add 3 to both sides:
x < 8+3
=11
x
<11............................................................(1)
Case
ii:
If x -3 < 0, then LHS |x-3)/2| = (3-x)/2. So the
inequality becomes:
(3-x)/2 +2 < 6. Subtract 2 from
both sides:
(3-x)/2 <
6-2
(3-x)/2 < 4. Multiply by 4 both
sides:
3-x < 4*2 =
8
3-x < 8. Subtract 8 from both
sides:
3-8 -x <
8-8.
-11-x < 0. Add x to both
sides:
-11< x. Or
x
>
-3..........................................(2).
Combining
the inequalities at (1) and (2), we get:
-11 < x
< 11
So x is a number between -11 and
11.
Or x belongs to the open interval (-11 , 11) or x
belongs to the open interval ] -11 ,11[ .
