The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequation \( 0 < \frac{-x}{3} < 1 \), we will break it down into two parts and solve each part step by step. ### Step 1: Break down the compound inequality We can separate the compound inequality into two parts: 1. \( 0 < \frac{-x}{3} \) 2. \( \frac{-x}{3} < 1 \) ### Step 2: Solve the first part \( 0 < \frac{-x}{3} \) To solve this, we will multiply both sides by -3. Remember, when we multiply or divide by a negative number, we must reverse the inequality sign. \[ 0 \cdot (-3) > \frac{-x}{3} \cdot (-3) \] This simplifies to: \[ 0 > x \] or \[ x < 0 \] ### Step 3: Solve the second part \( \frac{-x}{3} < 1 \) Similarly, we will multiply both sides by -3 and reverse the inequality sign: \[ \frac{-x}{3} \cdot (-3) > 1 \cdot (-3) \] This simplifies to: \[ x > -3 \] ### Step 4: Combine the results Now we have two inequalities: 1. \( x < 0 \) 2. \( x > -3 \) Combining these gives us: \[ -3 < x < 0 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the solution to the inequation \( 0 < \frac{-x}{3} < 1 \) is: \[ x \in (-3, 0) \]
