Answer:

Explanation:

To solve the inequality -5 < 2x - 1 < 3, we will break it down into two separate inequalities and solve each one individually.

First, let's solve the left inequality:

-5 < 2x - 1

Add 1 to both sides:

-5 + 1 < 2x - 1 + 1

-4 < 2x

Divide both sides by 2 (remembering to reverse the inequality when dividing by a negative number):

-4/2 < 2x/2

-2 < x

Now, let's solve the right inequality:

2x - 1 < 3

Add 1 to both sides:

2x - 1 + 1 < 3 + 1

2x < 4

Divide both sides by 2:

2x/2 < 4/2

x < 2

So, the solutions to the inequalities are:

-2 < x < 2

This means that x is greater than -2 and less than 2.
