This person was giving out free points and I said TYSM which means thank you so much. My answer apparently violated the honor code and was taken down. Why is that?

Maybe because of a glitch or its slang and slang isnt allowed on or maybe this slangs stands for other things as well. Or maybe because points are only given to people who actually answered the question you just got points for nothing basically.

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
