Statement 
.
If m and n are two points on the real number line, the distance from m to n is
d(m, n) = |m - n| .

Solve the inequality   | x - a |   b.
   
a   
b   

Solution
By the Statement, to solve the inequality we need to find all such points x on the real number line that the distance from x to   is   than   .
