The correct answer is x - 2. The graph would be a line between - 2 and 2 with an open circle on both.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, first solve the equation for the absolute value portion of the equation.

2|x| + 1 < 5

2|x| < 4

|x| < 2

Now since there is an absolute value around it, we have to complete it for the positive and negative versions.

x - 2
