Question 207603: what are the real values of x that are solutions for the inequality |x-2|_< 6

-----
implies that:
(x-2) < 6
and (x-2) > (-6)
-----
solving (x-2) < 6 first:
x-2 < 6
add 2 to both sides of the equation to get:
x < 8
-----
solving (x-2) > (-6)
x-2 > -6
add 2 to both sides to get:
x > -4
-----
your answer is:
x < 8 and x > -4
-----
this can be written as:
-4 < x < 8
-----
to prove, substitute in your original equation:
-----
if x = 8, equation becomes which becomes which becomes which would not satisfy the equation because x is not smaller than 8.
-----
if x = 7 equation becomes which becomes which becomes which would satisfy the equation because x is smaller than 8 as required.
-----
if x = -4, equation becomes which becomes which becomes which would not satisfy the equation because x is not larger than -4.
-----
if x = -3, equation becomes which becomes which becomes which would satisfy the equation because x is larger than -4 as required.
