3x-1%3C-7 Start with the first inequality



3x%3C-7%2B1Add 1 to both sides


3x%3C-6 Combine like terms on the right side


x%3C%28-6%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x



x%3C-2 Divide

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our first answer is x%3C-2








x-5%3E-6 Start with the second inequality



x%3E-6%2B5Add 5 to both sides


x%3E-1 Combine like terms on the right side

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
