Answer

The solution set is $~~(\frac{9}{2}, 5)\cup (5,\frac{11}{2})$

Work Step by Step

$0 \lt \vert x-5 \vert \lt \frac{1}{2}$ Case 1: $-\frac{1}{2} \lt x-5 \lt 0$ $\frac{9}{2} \lt x \lt 5$ Case 2: $0 \lt x-5 \lt \frac{1}{2}$ $5 \lt x \lt \frac{11}{2}$ The solution set is $~~(\frac{9}{2}, 5)\cup (5,\frac{11}{2})$
