If x + 5 > 2 and x - 3 < 6, the value of x must be between which of the following pairs of numbers?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) -3 and 10
B) -3 and 9
C) 2 and 7
D) 3 and 4
E) 3 and 10
Let’s isolate x in each inequality.   x + 5 &gt; 2   x &gt; -3   Next we simplify x – 3 &lt; 7.   x – 3 &lt; 6   x &lt; 9   We know that x is greater than -3 and less than 9.   The answer is -3 and 9.
