Solve the following systems of linear in equations: 1 ≤ |x – 2| ≤ 3

Answer»

1 ≤ |x - 2| and |x - 2| ≤ 3 

When, 

|x - 2| ≥ 1 

Then, 

x – 2 ≤ -1 and x -2 ≥ 1 

Now when, 

x – 2 ≤ - 1 

Adding 2 to both the sides in above equation 

x – 2 + 2 ≤ -1 + 2 

x ≤ 1 

Now when, 

x – 2 ≥ 1 

Adding 2 to both the sides in above equation 

x – 2 + 2 ≥ 1 + 2 

x ≥ 3 

For |x – 2| ≥ 1: x ≤ 1 or x ≥ 3 

When, 

|x - 2| ≤ 3 

Then, 

x – 2 ≥ - 3 and x – 2 ≤ 3 

Now when, 

x – 2 ≥ -3 

Adding 2 to both the sides in above equation 

x – 2 + 2 ≥ -3 + 2 x ≥ -1 

Now when, 

x – 2 ≤ 3 

Adding 2 to both the sides in above equation 

x – 2 + 2 ≤ 3 + 2 

x ≤ 5 

For |x – 2| ≤ 3: x ≥ -1 or x ≤ 5 

Combining the intervals: 

x ≤ 1 or x ≥ 3 and x ≥ -1 or x ≤ 5 

Merging the overlapping intervals: 

-1 ≤ x ≤ 1 and 3 ≤ x ≤ 5 

Therefore, 

x ϵ [-1 ,1] Ս [3, 5]
