(x+2)/(x+3) < 0
-------
Draw a number line.
Plot the values x = -2 and x = -3
----
Test a check point in each of the three number line intervals.
----
(x+2)/(x+3) < 0
---
Check x = -10; -/- < 0 ; false
Check x = -1; +/- < 0 ; true, so solutions in (-3,-2)
Check x = 0; +/+ < 0 ; false
----------------------------------
Ans: -3< x < -2
