Math Problem Statement

|10x-6|<4

Solution

To solve the inequality 10x6<4|10x - 6| < 4, we need to break it down into two cases based on the definition of absolute value:

Case 1: 10x6<410x - 6 < 4

10x6<410x - 6 < 4 Add 6 to both sides: 10x<1010x < 10 Now, divide by 10: x<1x < 1

Case 2: (10x6)<4-(10x - 6) < 4, which simplifies to 10x6>410x - 6 > -4

10x6>410x - 6 > -4 Add 6 to both sides: 10x>210x > 2 Now, divide by 10: x>210=0.2x > \frac{2}{10} = 0.2

Final Solution:

The solution is the intersection of both conditions: 0.2<x<10.2 < x < 1.

Thus, the solution to 10x6<4|10x - 6| < 4 is: 0.2<x<10.2 < x < 1
