OpenStudy (studygurl14):

I'm not doing this for you anymore. try it by yourself. What's the first step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no idea, thats why i need people to explain it to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i separate the problem into two parts right

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Right! Good job

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i have -2 < x/3+1 and x/3+1 <5?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

very good. now solve this one first: \[-2 < \frac{x}{3} + 1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-9 < x?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

wow, great job! See, you can do it! Other one: \[\frac{x}{3} + 1 < 5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x < 12?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

again, great job. Now how would you put -9 < x and x < 12 together?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-9 <x<12 ?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Awesome! You just solved the inequalities

OpenStudy (anonymous):
