| Topic | Modulus function |
| Type | Solve |linear| compared to linear: algebraic only |
| Difficulty | Moderate -0.5 This is a straightforward modulus inequality requiring students to consider two cases (x ≥ 1 and x < 1) and solve linear inequalities in each case. While it's from FP2, the technique is standard and mechanical with no conceptual subtlety, making it easier than average but not trivial since it requires careful case analysis and combining solution sets. |
| Spec | 1.02l Modulus function: notation, relations, equations and inequalities |

\end{enumerate}
$$| x - 1 | > 6 x - 1$$
