Solve the following

Question:

Solve $\left|\frac{3 x-4}{2}\right| \leq \frac{5}{12}$

Solution:

As, $\left|\frac{3 x-4}{2}\right| \leq \frac{5}{12}$

$\Rightarrow-\frac{5}{12} \leq \frac{3 x-4}{2} \leq \frac{5}{12} \quad($ As,$|x| \leq a \Rightarrow-a \leq x \leq a)$

$\Rightarrow-\frac{5}{6} \leq 3 x-4 \leq \frac{5}{6}$

$\Rightarrow-\frac{5}{6}+4 \leq 3 x \leq \frac{5}{6}+4$

$\Rightarrow \frac{-5+24}{6} \leq 3 x \leq \frac{5+24}{6}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{19}{6} \leq 3 x \leq \frac{29}{6}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{19}{18} \leq x \leq \frac{29}{18}$

$\therefore x \in\left[\frac{19}{18}, \frac{29}{18}\right]$
