Math Problem Statement

|2/(3x-2)|<2

Solution

We are given the inequality:

23x2<2\left|\frac{2}{3x - 2}\right| < 2

To solve this inequality, we need to break it into two cases because of the absolute value. The general approach is:

23x2<2and23x2<2-\frac{2}{3x - 2} < 2 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{2}{3x - 2} < 2

Case 1: Negative inequality

23x2<2-\frac{2}{3x - 2} < 2

Multiply both sides by (3x2)2(3x - 2)^2, which is positive so we don’t reverse the inequality: [ -\frac{2}{3x - 2} < 2 \quad \text{implies} \quad
