Answer 1

\[-5\leq -3(x-1.5)\leq 2\]
\[-5\leq -3x+4.5\leq 2\]
\[-9.5\leq -3x\leq -2.5\] lets use fractions
\[-\frac{19}{2}\leq -3x\leq -\frac{5}{2}\]
divide by -3, change the inequality
\[\frac{19}{6}\geq x \geq \frac{5}{6}\]

Answer 2

I had it correct until the fraction part. I had it in decimal form. Thanks
