Question
Solve the inequality. Express the answer using interval notation.$$|5 x-2|<6$$
Step 1
The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line. Therefore, $|5x-2|<6$ means that $5x-2$ is less than 6 units away from zero on the number line. This can be written as two separate inequalities: $-6<5x-2<6$. Show more…
