What is the soulution to the compound inequality 2<3x-1-<5

2 < 3x - 1 < 5 ... add 1 to all sections

2 + 1 < 3x - 1 + 1 < 5 + 1 ... simplify

3 < 3x < 6 ... now divide all sections by 3

3/3 < (3/3) x < 6/3 ... simplify

1 < x < 2 <===

but if u have trouble doing it this way, u can split it

2 < 3x - 1 3x - 1 < 5

2 + 1 < 3x 3x < 5 + 1

3 < 3x 3x < 6

3/3 < x x < 6/3

1 < x x < 2

now put them together ... 1 < x < 2 <==

either way, u will get the same answer
