Answer

The solution is: $(-1,3)$

Work Step by Step

In order to solve the inequality $ 1 \lt 2x+3 \lt 9$ we start by isolating (solving for) $x$. First, we subtract $3$: $1-3 \lt 2x+3-3 \lt 9-3$ $-2 \lt 2x \lt 6$ Next, we divide by $2$: $-2\div2 \lt 2x\div \lt 6\div 2$ $-1 \lt x \lt 3$ The result can be written as: $(-1,3)$
