Question

Solve: -19<3x-4<5 (Graphs are in the image)

Answer 1

Answer: B (−5 < x < 3)

Steps

−19 < 3x − 4 < 5

−19 < 3x − 4 and 3x − 4 < 5

x > −5 and x < 3

−5 < x < 3

Number Line

−19 < 3x − 4 < 5 : Solution: − 5 < x < 3

[ Interval Notation: (−5, 3)]

If a < u < b then a < u and u < b

−19 < 3x − 4 : x > −5

3x − 4 < 5 : x < 3

Combine the intervals

Merge Overlapping Intervals

And that equals=

−5 < x < 3
