Answer:

The solution to the inequality is:


-1\le \:x\le \:3

The line graph of the solution is also attached.

Explanation:

Given the expression


4x-1\:\le \:5x\:\le \:3\left(x+2\right)

solving the expression


4x-1\:\le \:5x\:\le \:3\left(x+2\right)


  • \mathrm{If}\:a\le \:u\le \:b\:\mathrm{then}\:a\le \:u\quad \mathrm{and}\quad \:u\le \:b


4x-1\le \:5x\quad \mathrm{and}\quad \:5x\le \:3\left(x+2\right)

solving


4x-1\le \:5x

Add 1 to both sides


4x-1+1\le \:5x+1

Simplify


4x\le \:5x+1

Subtract 5x from both sides


4x-5x\le \:5x+1-5x

simplify


-x\le \:1

Multiply both sides by -1 (reverse inequality)


\left(-x\right)\left(-1\right)\ge \:1\cdot \left(-1\right)

Simplify


x\ge \:-1

Similarly solving


5x\le \:3\left(x+2\right)

Subtract 3x from both sides


5x-3x\le \:3x+6-3x

Simplify


2x\le \:6

Divide both sides by 2


(2x)/(2)\le (6)/(2)

Simplify


x\le \:3

So combine the interval


x\ge \:-1\quad \mathrm{and}\quad \:x\le \:3

Merge overlapping intervals


-1\le \:x\le \:3

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is:


-1\le \:x\le \:3

The line graph of the solution is also attached.
