Answer:

-1/2,3

Explanation:

(2x+1)(x−3)<0

For the product to be negative, 2x+1 and x−3 have to be of the opposite signs. Consider the case when 2x+1 is positive and x−3 is negative.

2x+1>0

x−3<0

The solution satisfying both inequalities is x∈-1/2,3

Consider the case when x−3 is positive and 2x+1 is negative.

x−3>0

2x+1<0

This is false for any x.

x∈∅

The final solution is the union of the obtained solutions.
