3 l 2 - 5x l+ 1

To determine all x values, we'll work a bit over the given
expression.


3 l 2 - 5x l+ 1 <
10


We'll subtract 1 both
sides:


3 l 2 - 5x l < 10 -
1


3 l 2 - 5x l <
9


We'll divide by 3:


 l 2 - 5x
l < 9


We'll write the expression as a double
inequality:


-9 < 2 - 5x <
9


We'll solve the left
inequality:


-9 < 2 -
5x


-11 < -5x


We'll use
the symmetric property:


-5x >
-11


We'll multiply by -1:


5x
< 11


We'll divide by
5:


x < 11/5


We'll solve
the right inequality:


 2 - 5x <
9


-5x < 9-2


-5x
< 7


We'll divide by
-5:


x >
-7/5


The admissible values for x belong to
the interval (-7/5 , 11/5).

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
