Answer

$\displaystyle \left\{x\ |\ -\frac{1}{3} \lt x \leq \frac{1}{3} \right\}$ or $\displaystyle \left(-\frac{1}{3}, \ \frac{1}{3} \right]$

Work Step by Step

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{3} \lt \frac{x+1}{2} \leq \frac{2}{3} \qquad$... multiply with $6$, the LCD $2 \lt 3(x+1) \leq 4$ $ 2 \lt 3x+3 \leq 4\qquad$ ... add $-3$ $-1 \lt 3x \leq 1 \qquad$... multiply with $\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}$ $-\displaystyle \frac{1}{3} \lt x \leq \frac{1}{3} $ Solution set: $\displaystyle \left\{x\ |\ -\frac{1}{3} \lt x \leq \frac{1}{3} \right\}$ or $\displaystyle \left(-\frac{1}{3}, \ \frac{1}{3} \right]$
