Solution
The given inequality `3 > (2(3 - 4x))/(7) ≥ - 2`
which is equivalent to
⇒ 3 x 7 > 2(3 - 4x) ≥ -2 x 7
⇒ `(21)/(2) > 3 - 4x ≥ - 7`
⇒ `-3 + (21)/(2) > -4x ≥ -7 -3`
⇒ `(15)/(2) > -4x ≥ - 10`
we divide this compound inequality by - 4 and reverse the inequality signs to obtain
`(15)/(2 xx (-4)) < x ≤ (-10)/(-4)`
⇒ `(15)/(-8) < x ≤ (5)/(2)`
The graph of this set is `(-15)/(8) < x ≤ (5)/(2)`.
