Question

Find the solution set.

-7 < (or equal to) 2x - 3 < (or equal to) 11

Answer 1

On a number line?

Answer 2

i'll handle the number line, but i just need to solve the solution set

Answer 3

this one caught me off guard

Answer 4

Ok so you want to isolate the x, and so you'd want to solve it like any other algebraic equation. First you'd need to add three to all three portions and then divide by two on all three portions to just get x :)

Answer 5

hmm..not getting it

Answer 6

-7 < (or equal to) x - 3< (or equal to) 11+2?

Answer 7

So first you'd want to add three to all three
-4 < 2x < 14

Answer 8

Did that make sense? :D

Answer 9

OHHHH

Answer 10

then i divide both sides by two

Answer 11

so the answer is.... 14 <(or equal to) x < (or equal to) -7/2?

Answer 12

7* (not 14)

Answer 13

ahh, forget i even wrote that, completely messed it up while looking at another problem.. i got it thank you! :)

Answer 14

Ah sorry for the late response, I was having dinner :P But glad you got it! :]
