Question

Given x ∈ {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9}, find the values of x for which -3 < 2x – 1 < x + 4.

Sum

Solution

3 < 2x – 1 < x + 4.
⇒ – 3 < 2x – 1 and 2x – 1 < x + 4
⇒ – 2x < – 1 + 3 and 2x – x < 4 + 1
⇒ – 2x < 2 and x < 5
⇒ – x < 1
⇒ x > – 1
– 1 < x < 5
x ∈ {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9}
Solution set = {1, 2, 3, 4}.
