If your inequation is
log 2 ( 1 + 1 x 1 ) < 1
then it is equivalent to the system of inequations
{ 1 + 1 x 1 < 2 1 + 1 x 1 > 0
because 2 > 1 and so the exponential with base 2 is increasing. The first is obtained by removing the logarithm, the second because you need to ensure the logarithm exists.
