Solve the inequality:
x+21/x+3 <2
---------------------
Solve (x+21)/(x+3) = 2
x+21 = 2x+6
x = 15
Draw a number line; mark x = --3 and x=15 on the line
The inequality is true for x=-21 but undefined for x=-3.
-------------------------------------------------------
Test a value in each of the three resulting intervals:
If x=-22 you get (-1/-19)<2 which is true so solutions in (-inf,-3]
-----------------
If x= 0 you get (21/3)<7 which is false so no solutions in (-3,15)
-------------------
If x = 16 you get (37/19)<2 which is true so solutions in (15,+inf)
============================
Solution: -inf < x < -3 OR 15 < x < +inf
=============================
