Question

-9<-2x+3<1 Help?

Answer 1

subtract 3 from all parts, and then divide by -2, remembering to flip the inequalities when dividing bya negative

Answer 2

\[-9<-2x+3<1\] you can split it up to 2 parts...
\[-9<-2x+3\]\[-2x+3<1\]

Answer 3

that should make your life easy

Answer 4

-12<-2x<-2
6<x<1

Answer 5

you need to do everything to both sides of the inequalities as you break it down
starting with -9<-2x+3<1
you then subtract 3 from all three sections
-12<-2x<-2
then divide all three sections by -2
6>x>1
you also have to pay attention to swap the < to > signs by the multiply or divide by a negative number rule with inequalities.

Answer 6

or 6 > x <1

So my answer is this 6>x>1 did i get it right?

Answer 13

i wold hope so

Answer 14

when i said subtract three, you only saw it affect the outer two because it just canceled the positive three in the middle.
