Given,

|(2x-1)/(x-1)| > 2

x ≠ 1, 

As it will lead equation unmeaningful.

Now,

On subtracting 2 from both the sides, we get–

 \(|\frac{2x-1}{x-1}|\) - 2 > 0

Now, 

3 case arises : 

Case 1 : 1 < x < ∞

For this case, 

|2x–1| = 2x–1 and |x–1| = x–1

⇒ x ∈ (1, ∞) …(1)

Case 2 : \(\frac{1}{2}\) < x < 1

For this case: 

|2x–1| = 2x–1 and |x–1| = –(x–1)

⇒ x ∈ (\(\frac{3}{4}\), 1) …(2)

Case 3 : -∞ < x < \(\frac{1}{2}\)

For this case : 

|2x–1| = –(2x–1) and 

|x–1| = –(x–1)

Which is not possible,

Hence,

This will give no solution.

⇒ x ∈ (\(\frac{3}{4}\), 1) ∪ (1, ∞) (from 1 and 2)

We can verify the answers using graph as well.
