Answer

$\frac{1}{3} \lt x \lt \frac{\ln (2)+1}{3}$

Work Step by Step

$1 \lt e^{3x-1} \lt 2$ $\ln 1 \lt \ln (e^{3x-1}) \lt \ln (2)$ $\ln 1 \lt 3x-1 \lt \ln (2)$ $0 \lt 3x-1 \lt \ln (2)$ $0+1 \lt 3x-1+1 \lt \ln (2)+1$ $0+1 \lt 3x \lt \ln (2)+1$ $1 \lt 3x \lt \ln (2)+1$ $\frac{1}{3} \lt \frac{3x}{3} \lt \frac{\ln (2)+1}{3}$ $\frac{1}{3} \lt x \lt \frac{\ln (2)+1}{3}$ Therefore, the solution is: $$\frac{1}{3} \lt x \lt \frac{\ln (2)+1}{3}$$
