 given 0 < 5 - 2x < = 10
 
consider the first part  0 < 5 - 2x
 
==>         0 + 2x < 5 - 2x + 2x  [adding 2x to both the sides of the equation] 
==>          2x < 5 
==>       2x/2 < 5/2 
==> x < 5/2  --------------------(1)
 
Consider the second part 5 - 2x <= 10 
==>       5 - 2x - 5 <= 10 - 5 
==>        - 2x <= 5 
==>         2x >= -5 [once we changwe the sign, the inequality changes] 
==>        2x/2 >= -5/2 
==>         x >= - 5/2  ------------------(2)
 
Combining (1) andd (2) the solution in interval notation would be [-5/2, 5/2)
 
 
 
(2)  -6 < 4-x < 0
 
 Consider the first part of the inequality -6 < 4-x 
==>                                   -6 - 4 < 4 - x - 4 
==>                                  - 10 < -x 
==>                                    10 > x ---------------(1)
 
the second part, 4 - x < 0 
==>               4 - x - 4 < 0 - 4 
==>                  -x < - 4 
==>                   x > 4 ------------------------(2)
 
 
Combining (1) andd (2) the solution in interval notation would be (4, 10)
 
 
 
Good Luck!!!
