Solve the inequality: \(|9 - 2x| < 1\)
Solution
The inequality \(|9 - 2x| < 1\) can be rewritten as two separate inequalities:
1. \(9 - 2x < 1\)
2. \(9 - 2x > -1\)
Solving the first inequality:
\(9 - 2x < 1\)
Subtract 9 from both sides:
\(-2x < -8\)
Divide by -2 (and reverse the inequality sign):
\(x > 4\)
Solving the second inequality:
\(9 - 2x > -1\)
Subtract 9 from both sides:
\(-2x > -10\)
Divide by -2 (and reverse the inequality sign):
\(x < 5\)
Combining both results, we get:
\(4 < x < 5\)
