-2%3C3x-5%3C7 Start with the given compound inequality.


-2%2B5%3C3x%3C7%2B5 Add 5 to all sides.


3%3C3x%3C7%2B5 Combine like terms on the left side.


3%3C3x%3C12 Combine like terms on the right side.


%283%29%2F3%3Cx%3C%2812%29%2F3 Divide all sides by 3.


1%3Cx%3C4 Reduce.


So our answer is 1%3Cx%3C4
