Question: $|2|x|+3| < 6$...

2x+3<6|2|x|+3| < 6

Answer

The solution is the interval (32,32)(-\frac{3}{2}, \frac{3}{2}).

Explanation

Solution

The given inequality is 2x+3<6|2|x|+3| < 6.

We need to solve this inequality for xx. The expression inside the absolute value is 2x+32|x|+3. Since x0|x| \ge 0 for any real number xx, we have 2x02|x| \ge 0. Adding 3 to both sides, we get 2x+30+3=32|x|+3 \ge 0+3 = 3. So, the expression 2x+32|x|+3 is always greater than or equal to 3. This means 2x+32|x|+3 is always positive.

Since 2x+32|x|+3 is always positive, its absolute value is equal to the expression itself: 2x+3=2x+3|2|x|+3| = 2|x|+3.

So, the original inequality 2x+3<6|2|x|+3| < 6 simplifies to: 2x+3<62|x|+3 < 6

Now, we solve this simpler inequality for x|x|:

Subtract 3 from both sides: 2x<632|x| < 6 - 3 2x<32|x| < 3

Divide by 2: x<32|x| < \frac{3}{2}

The inequality x<c|x| < c, where c>0c > 0, is equivalent to c<x<c-c < x < c. In this case, c=32c = \frac{3}{2}. Since 32>0\frac{3}{2} > 0, we can write: 32<x<32-\frac{3}{2} < x < \frac{3}{2}

This is the solution to the inequality. The solution set is the open interval (32,32)(-\frac{3}{2}, \frac{3}{2}).
