\large \mathfrak{Solution : }

let the number be " x "

The Inequality can be represented as :


  • - 3 < 2x + 1 < 9


  • - 3 - 1 < 2x + 1 - 1 < 9 - 1


  • - 4 < 2x < 8


  • ( - 4)/(2) < (2x)/(2) < (8)/(2)


  • - 2 < x < 4

therefore the number actually lies between - 2 and 4, so the possible values for the number (if it's an integer) is -1 , 0 , 1 , 2 , and 3 .

Explanation:

-3 < 2x+1 <9

-3-1 < 2x < 9-1

-4 < 2x < 8

-2 < x < 4

so, the numbers are between -2 and 4

for Integers : -1, 0, 1, 2, 3
