| Type | Solve |linear| compared to linear: algebraic only |
| Difficulty | Moderate -0.3 This is a straightforward modulus inequality requiring the standard two-case approach (x ≥ 1 and x < 1), followed by solving linear inequalities and combining solutions. While it's a Further Maths topic, the technique is routine and mechanical with no conceptual subtlety, making it slightly easier than an average A-level question overall. |
