Answer:8 < x < 11Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality expression

15 > 2x-7 > 9

Splitting the inequality expression into 2:

15 > 2x-7 and 2x - 7 > 9

For the inequality 15 > 2x-7

15 > 2x-7

Add 7 to both sides

15 + 7 > 2x - 7 + 7

22 > 2x

Swap

2x < 22 (note the change in signg

2x/2 < 22/2

x < 11

For the inequality 2x - 7 > 9

Add 7 to both sides

2x-7+7 > 9 + 7

2x > 16

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 > 16/2

x > 8

Combine the solution to both inequalities

x>8 and x < 11

8 < x < 11

Hence the solution to the inequality expression is n)8 < x < 11

2x/2 < 22/2

x < 11

For the inequality 2x - 7 > 9

Add 7 to both sides

5 + 7 > 2x - 7 + 7

22 > 2x

Swap

2x < 22 (note the change in si)5 + 7 > 2x - 7 + 7

22 > 2x

Swap

2x < 22 (note the change in si)1
