# 15

-5%3Cx%2B3%3C5 Start with the given inequality


-8%3Cx%3C2 Subtract 3 from all sides


So the solution is

-8%3Cx%3C2


Which in interval notation is: (-8,2)


Now let's graph the solution set



Note: at x=-8 there is a open circle (which means this point is excluded) and at x=2 there is a open circle (which means this point is excluded)
