Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The answer would be A, in which x can be any value between 3 and 5, exclusive, or not including.

This is because in this situation, if you put any number greater than or equal to 5, or any number less than or equal to 3 it would be greater than 2 due to the absolute thing (noted as | | )

So, any number thats between 3 and 5 will work, as it will be less than 2.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

You have two inequalities:

2x-8<2 = 2x<10 = x<5

-2x+8<2= -2x<-6 = x>3

Combine the two to get 3<x<5

Hope this helps!
