Solution Rewrite the inequality so that the absolute value is alone on one side.
|5 - 2*| - 1 < 2
|5 - 2*| < 3
Write 5 - 2 * | < 3 as the equivalent conjunction:
-3 < 5 - 2* < 3
-8 < -2* < -2
4 > * > 1
.'. the solution set is {*:
1 1 < * < 4).
}
- 1 0 1 2 3 4 5
Check: Test a point in the shaded region and a point on either side of it.
Try* - 2: |5 - 2 • 2| = |5 - 4| = |l| = 1 < 3 True V
Try* = 0: 5 - 2 • 0| = 5 - 0| = |5| = 5 < 3 False V
Try* = 5: 5 - 2 • 5| = |5 - 10| = | -5 = 5 < 3 False V
