Solve the inequality 5x + 1 > – 24, 5x – 1 < 24 and represent the solution graphically on number line.

Given inequalities 5x + 1 > -24 and 5x – 1 < 24


5x + 1 > -24


5x > -24 – 1


5x > -25


x > -5 ………(I)


5x – 1 < 24


5x < 24 + 1


5x < 25


x < 5 ……….(II)


From (I) and (II) we conclude that solution of given inequalities is (-5, 5).
