Answer:
-2 < x < 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Add 1 to all parts/sections.
- [tex]-5+1<2x-1+1<8+1[/tex]
- [tex]-4<2x<9[/tex]
Step 2: Divide all parts/sections by 2.
- [tex]\frac{-4}{2}<\frac{2x}{2} <\frac{9}{2}[/tex]
- [tex]-2 < x < 4.5[/tex]
Therefore, the range of possible values of x is -2 < x < 4.5.
