Question

Solve each absolute value inequality. $$2>|11-x|$$

Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer
The solution to the absolute value inequality is \(9 < x < 13\).
1Step 1: Break the Absolute Value Inequality into Two Separate Inequalities
First, express the absolute value inequality as two separate inequalities: \(11-x < 2\) and \(11-x > -2\)
2Step 2: Solve Each Inequality
Now, solve each inequality separately.\nFor \(11-x < 2\), isolate \(x\): add \(x\) to both sides and subtract \(2\) from both sides to get \(x > 9\).\nFor \(11-x > -2\), isolate \(x\): add \(x\) to both sides and add \(2\) to both sides to get \(x < 13\).
3Step 3: Write as a Compound Inequality
Combine the two inequalities into a single compound inequality to denote the solution:\(9 < x < 13.\)
