### Question 9 (Multiple Choice Worth 1 point)
Solve the inequality: [tex]\(-8 < x - 1 < 5\)[/tex]
To solve this compound inequality, follow these steps:
1. Isolate [tex]\(x\)[/tex]: Start by adding 1 to all parts of the inequality to isolate [tex]\(x\)[/tex].
[tex]\[
-8 + 1 < x - 1 + 1 < 5 + 1
\][/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]\[
-7 < x < 6
\][/tex]
So the solution to the inequality [tex]\(-8 < x - 1 < 5\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[
-7 < x < 6
\][/tex]
