What should a be for the system of inequalities to have one solution?
( 1 ) 3 x a 1 ( 2 ) | x 2 a 2 | 1
For them to have one solution, the solution must be an endpoint of an interval. (1) gives me
x a + 3
but I don't know how to proceed from here. Any hint would be appreciated.

The first it's
3 x a 1 0
or
3 + a x x a 0
or
a < x 3 + a .
The second it's
2 a + 1 x 3 + 2 a .
Now, we see that an unique possibility it's
3 + a = 2 a + 1.
