Step-by-step solution

To solve the inequality 3x+9<18\left|3x + 9\right| < 18, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Remove the absolute value by expressing it as a double inequality:
    18<3x+9<18 -18 < 3x + 9 < 18 .

  • Step 2: Simplify the inequality:
    First, subtract 9 from all parts:
    189<3x+99<189 -18 - 9 < 3x + 9 - 9 < 18 - 9 ,
    which simplifies to 27<3x<9 -27 < 3x < 9 .

  • Step 3: Solve for xx by dividing the entire inequality by 3:
    273<3x3<93 -\frac{27}{3} < \frac{3x}{3} < \frac{9}{3} ,
    resulting in 9<x<3 -9 < x < 3 .

Upon solving, we determine that the solution to the inequality is the interval:

9<x<3 -9 < x < 3 .

Final Answer

9<x<3 -9 < x < 3
