-3%3C2x%2B1%3C5 Start with the given compound inequality.


-3-1%3C2x%3C5-1 Subtract 1 from all sides.


-4%3C2x%3C5-1 Combine like terms on the left side.


-4%3C2x%3C4 Combine like terms on the right side.


%28-4%29%2F2%3Cx%3C%284%29%2F2 Divide all sides by 2.


-2%3Cx%3C2 Reduce.


So our answer is -2%3Cx%3C2
