Question
Solve the following inequations: $|7 x-4|<10$

Answer

$
\begin{aligned}
& |7 x-4|<10 \\
& -10<7 x-4<10 \ldots . . .[|x|<k \text { is same as }-k<x<k]
\end{aligned}
$
Adding 4 on both sides, we get
$
-6<7 x<14
$
Dividing both sides by 7 , we get
$
\begin{aligned}
& -\frac{6}{7}<x<\frac{14}{7} \\
& \therefore-\frac{6}{7}<x<2
\end{aligned}
$
$\therefore x$ takes all real values between $-\frac{6}{7}$ and 2 .
$\therefore$ Solution set $=\left(-\frac{6}{7}, 2\right)$
