Question

If x ∈ R (real numbers) and – 1 < 3 – 2x ≤ 7, find solution set and represent it on a number line.

Answer 1

-1 < 3 – 2x ≤ 7
-1 < 3 – 2x and 3 – 2x ≤ 7
⇒ 2x < 3 + 1 and – 2x ≤ 7 – 3
⇒ 2x < 4 and -2x ≤ 4
⇒ x < 2 and -x ≤ 2
and x ≥ -2 or -2 ≤ x
x ∈ R
Solution set -2 ≤ x < 2
Solution set on number line
