STEP 1 : Rearrange this Absolute Value Inequality
Absolute value inequalitiy entered
|2x-1| < 11
STEP 2 : Clear the Absolute Value Bars
Clear the absolute-value bars by splitting the equation into its two cases, one for the Positive case and the other for the Negative case.
The Absolute Value term is |2x-1|
For the Negative case we'll use -(2x-1)
For the Positive case we'll use (2x-1)
STEP 3 : Solve the Negative Case
-(2x-1) < 11
Multiply
-2x+1 < 11
Rearrange and Add up
-2x < 10
Divide both sides by 2
-x < 5
Multiply both sides by (-1)
Remember to flip the inequality sign
x > -5
Which is the solution for the Negative Case
STEP 4 : Solve the Positive Case
(2x-1) < 11
Rearrange and Add up
2x < 12
Divide both sides by 2
x < 6
Which is the solution for the Positive Case
STEP 5 : Wrap up the solution
-5 < x < 6
