x+12<1\left| \dfrac{x+1}{2} \right| < 1

Solution

Verified
Step 1
1 of 2

Solve the given inequality as shown below, follow the steps:

x+12<1\Big|\dfrac{x+1}{2}\Big| \text{\textless} 1\qquad [recall: a<bb<a<b|a|\text{\textless} b\Rightarrow -b\text{\textless} a\text{\textless} b]

1<x+12<1\Rightarrow -1\text{\textless} \dfrac{x+1}{2}\text{\textless} 1\qquad [multiply each side by 22]

2<x+1<2\Rightarrow -2\text{\textless} x+1\text{\textless} 2\qquad [subtract 11 in each side]

21<x<21\Rightarrow -2-1\text{\textless} x\text{\textless} 2-1

3<x<1\Rightarrow -3\text{\textless} x\text{\textless} 1

The solution written in interval notation is: x(3,1)\quad x\in (-3,1)
