8th Grade: Use algebra to find the measure of the angles in the pair of complementary angles below. Show your work. I saw somebody already answered this question, but could somebody explain it a little more. Our teacher likes us to explain exactly how we got our answer :)

You just multiply what x was by 4 to get 4x

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
