The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequality \( 5 < |2 - x| < 6 \) with the condition \( x > 0 \), we will break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Break down the absolute value inequality The inequality \( 5 < |2 - x| < 6 \) can be split into two separate inequalities: 1. \( |2 - x| > 5 \) 2. \( |2 - x| < 6 \) ### Step 2: Solve the first inequality \( |2 - x| > 5 \) The absolute value inequality \( |2 - x| > 5 \) means that: - \( 2 - x > 5 \) or - \( 2 - x < -5 \) #### Solving \( 2 - x > 5 \): \[ 2 - x > 5 \implies -x > 3 \implies x < -3 \] #### Solving \( 2 - x < -5 \): \[ 2 - x < -5 \implies -x < -7 \implies x > 7 \] ### Step 3: Solve the second inequality \( |2 - x| < 6 \) The absolute value inequality \( |2 - x| < 6 \) means that: - \( 2 - x < 6 \) and - \( 2 - x > -6 \) #### Solving \( 2 - x < 6 \): \[ 2 - x < 6 \implies -x < 4 \implies x > -4 \] #### Solving \( 2 - x > -6 \): \[ 2 - x > -6 \implies -x > -8 \implies x < 8 \] ### Step 4: Combine the results From the first inequality \( |2 - x| > 5 \), we have: 1. \( x < -3 \) 2. \( x > 7 \) From the second inequality \( |2 - x| < 6 \), we have: 1. \( x > -4 \) 2. \( x < 8 \) ### Step 5: Analyze the intervals Now we combine the results: - From \( x < -3 \) and \( x > -4 \), the valid interval is \( -4 < x < -3 \) (not relevant since \( x > 0 \)). - From \( x > 7 \) and \( x < 8 \), the valid interval is \( 7 < x < 8 \). ### Step 6: Find a possible value of \( x \) Since we need \( x > 0 \), we can choose any value in the interval \( (7, 8) \). A simple choice is: \[ x = 7.5 \] ### Final Answer One possible value of \( x \) is \( 7.5 \). ---
