You can  put this solution on YOUR website! 3|5t-1|+9<23 
3|5t-1) less than 14 
|5t-1| less than (14/3) 
5t-1 less than 14/3 
5t less than 15/3=5 
t less than 1 
; 
5t-1 greater than -(14/3) 
5t greater than -13/3 
t greater than -13/15 
; 
Check with 2, which shouldn't work.  3|10-1|+9=36, and not less than 23. 
Try 0, which should work.  3|-1|+9=12, and that is less than 23. 
-3/2 should not work.  3|-.8.5| +9 =34.5 and that is not less than 23. 
(-13/15,1)
