Question

Solve for x: −1 < x + 3 < 5

2 < x < 8
−4 < x < 2
2 > x > 8
−4 > x > 2

Answer 1

For this question the answer is :
`-4 < x < 2`

Explanation:

First Move all the terms not containing
`x` from the center section of the inequality.

Subtract 3 from all terms:

`-1-3 < x+3-3 < 5-3`

The Inequality form would be :

`-4 < x < 2`

Answer 2

−1 < x + 3 < 5

To solve this, you need to isolate the X variable. To get x by itself, you need to subtract 3 from x+3 to get x.

Because you are subtracting 3 from one term, you need to subtract 3 from all the terms.

Subtract 3 from all terms:

-1-3 < x+3-3 < 5-3

The answer is:

-4 < x < 2
