[QUOTE="converting1, post: 4526540, member: 448417"] ## x - |x-|x|| > 2 ## how would I go about solving something like this? my initial thoughts was to consider if x >= 0 I get 2-x < 0 then x > 2 in that case then consider if x < 0 which I get -|x+x| > 2-x then 2x > 2-x then x > 2/3 but I'm having troubles deciding which one is correct, and if there is another way to do it (I can't seem to sketch |x-|x|| edit: I know it's pretty obvious from looking at the equation that x > 2, but just wondering why I get the x >2/3 part from, and if I got given a question which is not obvious, then how would I know x > 2/3 would be wrong (for example), and which inequality would be the correct bit [/QUOTE]
