*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2\ &lt;\ |x\ -\ 1|\ &lt;\ 5]


Means:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2\ &lt;\ x\ -\ 1\ &lt;\ 5]


OR


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ -2\ &gt;\ x\ -\ 1\ &gt;\ -5\ \Right\ -5\ &lt;\ x\ -\ 1\ &lt;\ -2]


Note the reversal of sense in the second compound inequality.  Solve the two compound inequalities and report the &lt;u&gt;union&lt;/u&gt; of the solution sets.  If you need more help on this, write back.
