Explanation:

There two solutions. X can be zero cause anything divided by zero is undefined.

When dealing with positive numbers:


least \: to \: greatest \: for \: \: x \geqslant 1


- (1)/(x) < \: \: 1 - x \: < \: \: x - 1 \: \: < x

When dealing with negative numbers:


least \: to \: greatest \: for \: \: x < 0


- x \: < x - 1 \: < - (1)/(x) \: < 1 - x
