Question

Solve: -2 < x + 3 < 5

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

$- 5 < x < 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to seperate them :

$- 2 < x + 3$

$x + 3 < 5$

Next you can solve it by moving all the unrelated terms to the other side :

$- 2 < x + 3 \\ - 2 - 3 < x + 3 - 3 \\ - 5 < x \\ x > - 5$

$x + 3 < 5 \\ x + 3 - 3 < 5 - 3 \\ x < 2$

Answer 2

Answer:

-5 < x < 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 3 from each of the three sides.

-2 < x + 3 < 5

-2 - 3 < x + 3 - 3 < 5 - 3

-5 < x < 2
