need to solve this problem

Hello, mndn6154!

A few spaces would make it easier to read . . .

1<1/2|6-x|-3/4 :?
I can only guess at what you meant to say . . .

We have: \(\displaystyle \:\frac{1}{2}|6\,-\,x|\,-\,\frac{3}{4}\;>\;1\) . . . I think!

Add \(\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}\) to both sides: \(\displaystyle \;\frac{1}{2}|6\,-\,x|\;>\;\frac{7}{4}\)

Multiply by 2: \(\displaystyle \;|6\,-\,x|\;>\;\frac{7}{2}\)

Then: \(\displaystyle \;-\frac{7}{2}\;>\; 6\,-\,x\;>\;\frac{7}{2}\)

Subtract \(\displaystyle 6:\;\;-\frac{19}{2}\;>\;-x\;>\;-\frac{5}{2}\)

Multiply by -1: \(\displaystyle \:\frac{19}{2}\;<\:x\;<\;\frac{5}{2}\)


Therefore: \(\displaystyle \,x\,<\,\frac{5}{2}\,\) or \(\displaystyle \,x\, >\, \frac{19}{2}\)

Interval notation: \(\displaystyle \,\left(-\infty,\,\frac{5}{2}\right)\:\cup\:\left(\frac{19}{2}\,\infty\right)\)
