solve the following:
-2<x-3<5
1<x+1<9
Solve the following pairs of inequalities, find the integer value which satisfies both of them.
x-3>2 and 2x+1<15
1-2x<17 and (2-3x)/10 > 2
how do i do these types of questions im not to sure thanks

Can you solve inequalities on their own, so can you solve x-3>2 ? -

Whatever you do to one side of the inequality you must do to both. So for your first example: −2<α−3<5 add 3 to both sides do you get 1<α<8 where α is x

yes x>5
For instance if I solve two inequalities and I get -1<x<6 and -2<x<5 combining these I'd get -1<x<5 and x must satisfy both inequalities. -

So solve each of the inequalities separately and then you can put them together.
For instance if I solve two inequalities and I get -1<x<6 and -2<x<5 combining these I'd get -1<x<5 and x must satisfy both inequalities.
1-2x<17 and (2-3x)/10 > 2
1<17+2x so -16<2x
-8<x
(2-3x)/10 > 2
2-3x > 20
2>20+3x
-18>3x
-6>x
so the is the final inequality -8<x<-6 -

ah alright so for
1-2x<17 and (2-3x)/10 > 2
1<17+2x so -16<2x
-8<x
(2-3x)/10 > 2
2-3x > 20
2>20+3x
-18>3x
-6>x
so the is the final inequality -8<x<-6Posted on the TSR App. Download from Apple or Google Play
