well add 3 to all sides of the inequality

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

\(\Large \rm\color{midnightblue}{-18+\color{magenta}{3}\leq3x-3+\color{magenta}{3}\leq18+\color{magenta}{3}}\)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

-3+3 is what?

-15 & 21

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

correct!

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

\(\Large \rm\color{midnightblue}{-15\leq3x\leq21}\) now devide all the sides by 3
