(guaranteed medal for a good answer)

Answer 1

subtract 7/2:

6 -3.5 < 5x + 3.5 - 3.5 < 11 - 3.5

2.5< 5x < 7.5

divide by 5:

2.5/5 < 5x/5 < 7.5/5

1/2 < x < 3/2

(1,3) but i don't know why

Answer 8

it is wrong it should be 5x+7 over 2
the 2 is the denominator of 5x+7

Answer 9

not only of 7

Answer 10

oh, then people should use brackets...

if it's 6<(5x+7)/2<11

multiply by 2:

12 < 5x+7 < 22

subtract 7:

5 <5x < 15

divide by 5:

1 < x < 3

Answer 11

so the answer is (1,3)?

Answer 12

yes
