How this problem is formulated,  it is  TERRIBLE.

From the given formulation,  value of  "x"  can not be found. 


It is why I said in my previous response
    
https://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/Graphs/Graphs.faq.question.1143492.html

that the problem "makes no sense".


What  can be found  is  the range  where the values of    vary.

Mathematically correct formulation is  THIS : 

    If  x  varies in the domain  -3 < x < 5,  x=/=0,  find the range of the function  .
