Answer:
Explanation:
Given the inequality expression |x| < a. The two cases for solving the expression are x<a and -x < a (or x>-a)
Note that the absolute value of a number will return both its positive and negative value. That's why the value of x i.e |x| returns both x and -x in the expression above.
The connecting word of the expression is that 'the absolute value of variable x is less than a' where a can take any value.
