Question 644261: Please help me find the answer.
Use the addition property and\or multiplication property to find a and b
If -2 is less than x which is less then 0, then a is less then 3x+5 which is less than b Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If -2 is less than x which is less then 0, then a is less then 3x+5 which is less than b
----
Problem:
If -2 < x < 0, then a < 3x+5 < b
----
Solution to find "a" and "b":
-----
If -2 < x < 0, then -6 < 3x < 0
-------------------------------
and -1 < 3x+5 < 5
---
So a = -6 and b = 5
