We can solve this question using matching operations (see the video lesson below )
Given:
Quantity A: 3x - 5
Quantity B: 2x
Subtract 2x from both quantities:
Quantity A: x - 5
Quantity B: 0
Add 5 to both quantities:
Quantity A: x
Quantity B: 5
Since the given information, \(− 1 < x < 1\), tells us that x is less than 1, we can be certain that quantity B is greater then quantity A.
Answer: B
