To solve the inequality \(2 - 3x < |x - 3|\), we consider the critical points where the expressions inside the absolute value change sign.
1. Consider the equation \(2 - 3x = x - 3\).
2. Solving for \(x\), we have:
\(2 - 3x = x - 3\)
\(2 + 3 = x + 3x\)
\(5 = 4x\)
\(x = -\frac{1}{2}\)
3. The critical value is \(x = -\frac{1}{2}\).
4. Test intervals around the critical point:
- For \(x > -\frac{1}{2}\), choose \(x = 0\):
\(2 - 3(0) < |0 - 3|\)
\(2 < 3\), which is true.
- For \(x < -\frac{1}{2}\), choose \(x = -1\):
\(2 - 3(-1) < |-1 - 3|\)
\(5 < 4\), which is false.
5. Therefore, the solution is \(x > -\frac{1}{2}\).
