Solve the inequality: \(|2x - 3| < 3x + 2\)
Solution
To solve the inequality \(|2x - 3| < 3x + 2\), we consider two cases based on the definition of absolute value.
Case 1: When \(2x - 3 \\geq 0\), the inequality becomes:
\(2x - 3 < 3x + 2\)
Subtract \(2x\) from both sides:
\(-3 < x + 2\)
Subtract 2 from both sides:
\(-5 < x\)
Case 2: When \(2x - 3 < 0\), the inequality becomes:
\(-(2x - 3) < 3x + 2\)
\(-2x + 3 < 3x + 2\)
Add \(2x\) to both sides:
\(3 < 5x + 2\)
Subtract 2 from both sides:
\(1 < 5x\)
Divide by 5:
\(x > \frac{1}{5}\)
Combining both cases, the solution is \(x > \frac{1}{5}\).
