$$\left|{x - 1}\right| - \frac{6}{\left|{x - 1}\right|} < 1$$
|x - 1| - 6/|x - 1| < 1
Detail solution
Given the inequality:
$$\left|{x - 1}\right| - \frac{6}{\left|{x - 1}\right|} < 1$$
To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
$$\left|{x - 1}\right| - \frac{6}{\left|{x - 1}\right|} = 1$$
Solve:
$$x_{1} = -2$$
$$x_{2} = 4$$
$$x_{1} = -2$$
$$x_{2} = 4$$
This roots
$$x_{1} = -2$$
$$x_{2} = 4$$
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
$$x_{0} = x_{1} - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$-2 + - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$-2.1$$
substitute to the expression
$$\left|{x - 1}\right| - \frac{6}{\left|{x - 1}\right|} < 1$$
$$- \frac{6}{\left|{-2.1 - 1}\right|} + \left|{-2.1 - 1}\right| < 1$$
1.16451612903226 < 1

but
1.16451612903226 > 1

Then
$$x < -2$$
no execute
one of the solutions of our inequality is:
$$x > -2 \wedge x < 4$$
