Question

Solve for x -9<4x+3<27 enter your answer as one inequality in the box

Answer 1

If a< c< b then a<c and c<b

Separate the equation into 2 separate ones and solve them:

X-9 < 4x +3

Subtract 3 from both sides:

X-12 < 4x

Subtract x from both sides:

-12< 3x

Divide both sides by 3:

X > -4

4x+3 < 27

Subtract 3 from both sides

4x < 24

Divide both sides by 4

X <6

Combine to get one inequality:

-4<x<6
