To solve the inequality
\[ \frac{(x-1)}{x} - \left(\frac{(x+1)}{x} - 1\right) < 2, \]
let's start by simplifying the left-hand side of the inequality.
- The expression \(\frac{(x+1)}{x} - 1\) can be simplified:
\[ \frac{x+1}{x} - 1 = \frac{x+1 - x}{x} = \frac{1}{x}. \]
So, the entire left-hand side becomes:
\[ \frac{x-1}{x} - \frac{1}{x} = \frac{x-1-1}{x} = \frac{x-2}{x}. \]
- Now we can rewrite the inequality:
\[ \frac{x-2}{x} < 2. \]
- To eliminate the fraction, multiply both sides of the inequality by \(x\). Note that the sign of the inequality will change if \(x < 0\), so we will consider the cases where \(x > 0\) and \(x < 0\) separately.
For \(x > 0\):
\[ x - 2 < 2x. \]
Subtract \(x\) from both sides:
\[ -2 < x. \]
Thus, for \(x > 0\), we have \(x > 2\).
- For \(x < 0\), the inequality becomes:
\[ x - 2 > 2x. \]
Rearranging gives:
\[ -2 > x. \]
- Therefore, combining both cases, we find the solutions:
- For \(x > 0\), we have \(x > 2\).
- For \(x < 0\), we have \(x < -2\).
- Finally, the solution to the inequality is:
\[ x < -2 \quad \text{or} \quad x > 2. \]
In interval notation, the solution is:
\[ (-\infty, -2) \cup (2, \infty). \]
