The solution to the inequality ∣2 x − 3∣ < 9 is the interval ( − 3 , 6 ) , meaning that x can take any value between -3 and 6, not including -3 and 6 themselves. This is found by solving two separate inequalities derived from the absolute value inequality. The final solution is expressed as x ∈ ( − 3 , 6 ) .
