Question

What is the answer please

Answer 1

-2 < x < 4.5

Explanation:

Step 1: Add 1 to all parts/sections.

• 
  `-5+1<2x-1+1<8+1`
• 
  `-4<2x<9`

Step 2: Divide all parts/sections by 2.

• 
  `(-4)/(2)<(2x)/(2) <(9)/(2)`
• 
  `-2 < x < 4.5`

Therefore, the range of possible values of x is -2 < x < 4.5.
