Given the inequality:
$$\left|{x - 1}\right| - \frac{6}{\left|{x - 1}\right|} < -5$$
To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
$$\left|{x - 1}\right| - \frac{6}{\left|{x - 1}\right|} = -5$$
Solve:
$$x_{1} = 0$$
$$x_{2} = 2$$
$$x_{1} = 0$$
$$x_{2} = 2$$
This roots
$$x_{1} = 0$$
$$x_{2} = 2$$
is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
$$x_{0} < x_{1}$$
For example, let's take the point
$$x_{0} = x_{1} - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$- \frac{1}{10} + 0$$
=
$$-0.1$$
substitute to the expression
$$\left|{x - 1}\right| - \frac{6}{\left|{x - 1}\right|} < -5$$
$$- \frac{6}{\left|{-1 - 0.1}\right|} + \left|{-1 - 0.1}\right| < -5$$
-4.35454545454545 < -5
but
-4.35454545454545 > -5
Then
$$x < 0$$
no execute
one of the solutions of our inequality is:
$$x > 0 \wedge x < 2$$
