When solving inequalities involving ABSOLUTE VALUE, there are 2 things you need to know:
Rule #1: If |something| < k, then –k < something < k
Rule #2: If |something| > k, then EITHER something > k OR something < -kNote: these rules assume that k is positive
----------------------------------
GIVEN:
|x−1|<2Apply Rule #1 to get:
−2<x−1<2Add 1 to all sides to get:
−1<x<3Answer: A
