solve and graph the solution set for
2x+1<3-x< 2x+5
-----------------
Subtract 3 along the line to get:
2x-2 < -x < 2x+2
--------
Note: Multiplying by -1 reverses the inequality::
-------
-(2x+2) < x < -(2x-2)
------
-2x-2 < x < -2x+2

------------------------
Solve:: x = -2x-2
3x = -2
x = -2/3
----
Solve:: x = -2x+2
3x = 2
x = 2/3
----
Ans -2/3 < x < 2/3
