Answer:


\displaystyle x\in \left(-(40)/(13),(48)/(13)\right)

Explanation:

Inequalities with Absolute Value

We must recall the following rule:


\text{If }|M|<N,\ N>0

Then:


-N<M<N

We have the following inequality:


|13x-4|+12 < 56

Subtracting 12:


|13x-4|< 56-12


|13x-4|< 44

Applying the rule:


-44<13x-4<44

Adding 4:


-44+4<13x<44+4

Operating:


-40<13x<48

Dividing by 13:


\displaystyle -(40)/(13)<x<(48)/(13)

The solution expressed in interval form is:


\boxed{\displaystyle x\in \left(-(40)/(13),(48)/(13)\right)}
