You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-9%3C3x-8%3C-1 Start with the given compound inequality.


-9%2B8%3C3x%3C-1%2B8 Add 8 to all sides.


-1%3C3x%3C-1%2B8 Combine like terms on the left side.


-1%3C3x%3C7 Combine like terms on the right side.


-1%2F3%3Cx%3C7%2F3 Divide all sides by 3.


So the solution is -1%2F3%3Cx%3C7%2F3


which is () in interval notation.
