2x - 3 < x + 2 ≤ 3x + 5.    we neeed to solve this in pieces.....first...

 

2x - 3 < x + 2       add 3 to both sides, subtract x from both sides

 

x < 5

 

 

Then  ....we need to solve

 

x + 2 ≤ 3x + 5    subtract x, 5 from both sides

 

-3 ≤ 2x         divide both sides by 2

 

-3/2 ≤  x

 

So....the answer is :          -3/2 ≤  x  <  5

 

 

cool cool cool
