\[\left| x - 1 \right| + \left| 2- x \right| > 3 + x\]
OpenStudy (ash2326):
We have
\[|x-1|+|2-x|>3+x\]
There are two mods here so there are three conditions here
Let's solve for each case seperately
OpenStudy (ash2326):
@kirmats are you here
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yupp...
OpenStudy (ash2326):
Case 1)
x<1
Can you write the inequality for this condition

@kirmats Are you working on it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1-x+ 2-x > 3 + x
3-2x>3+x
-3x>0
x<0
OpenStudy (ash2326):
Good work:D
So we started with the condition x< 1 and got x<0
so for this case what's the range of x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\left( -\infty, 0 \right)\]
OpenStudy (ash2326):
Great work:D
Let's work on case 2 now
Case 2) \( x= [1, 2)\)

Could you solve for this case?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x-1+2-x>3+x
1>3+x
x<-2
this is where i got stuck..
OpenStudy (ash2326):
Ok, I'll explain
We had the condition x<2 and x>=1
but we got x<-2
so in this case there is no common range, so no solution exist for this case range|dw:1337402947543:dw|
