Which of the following values is a solution of |2-x| less than 4 -2-167

The correct answer is -1.

In order to solve this, we need to split into the positive and negative version of the answers. Let's start with the positive version.

2 - x < 4

-x < 2

x > -2 > NOTE: When we divide by -1, we have to change the direction of the sign.

Now we'll do the negative version.

2 - x > -4

-x > -6

x < 6

So we know the number must be greater than -2, but less than 6. The only number on this list that fits that is -1.
