If x<−1  −(x−1)−(x+1)<4  ⇒ 2x>−4  or  x> −2  hence x∈(−2 ,−1)  If −1≤x<1  −(x−1)+x+1<4  ⇒ 2<4   so  x∈[−1,1)  If 1≤x  x−1+x+1<4  ⇒ 2x<4  or   x<2    x∈[1,2)  Taking union of the three cases,       x∈(−2,2) .
Ifx<1(x1)(x+1)<42x>4orx>2hencex(2,1)If1x<1(x1)+x+1<42<4sox[1,1)If1xx1+x+1<42x<4orx<2x[1,2)Takingunionofthethreecases,x(2,2).
