Question

Solve the following equation, writing out the solutions in standard inequality forms.
2|3x - 2| + 2 < 5
Can somebody please explain how the solution to this got from -3/2 < 3x-2 < 3/2 to
1/6 < x < 7/6, as the final answer?

Answer 1

-3/2 +2 < 3x < 3/2 + 2
1/2 < 3x < 7/2
1/2 ÷ 3 < x < 7/2 ÷ 3 <== instead of (÷3) you can do (x 1/3)
1/6 < x < 7/6

Answer 2

Thanks...did not see that at all. Must be the time of day...:P
