-2 <x-4 <2 is equivalent to | x-4|<2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

| x-4|<2 in order for the abs value of x-4 to be less than 2; then: that value of :x-4: has to nestle between -2 and 2

Hello amistre - Your reply seems to be more confident. Can you please expand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks everybody for your replies :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

its just by definition of an absolute value. the distance from 0 has to be less than 2. |dw:1323108237165:dw| the value that x-4 represents must satisfy the condition that it is within a distance of 2 from the origin.
