Question 365282
Solve the inequality, state the solution using the interval notation and graph.

x - 3 < 0
_____
x + 5

-----------------
Find the boundary values.
x = 3 because the numerator cannot be zero.
x = -5 because the denominator cannot be zero.
--------------
Draw a number line and plot those two values.
----
Check a value in each resulting interval in the
INEQUALITY to see where the solutions are.
--
(x-3)/(x+5) < 0
----
If x = -10 you get -/- < 0; false
If x = 0 you get -/+ < 0; true, so solutions in (-5,3)
If x = 10 you get +/+ <0; false
------
Solution: (-5,3)
