Answer:

The answer to your question is: 1 ≤ x ≤ 5

Explanation:

Write and inequality

1st part

5 ≥ x Use this symbol "≥" because it means

greater than or equal.

2nd part

1 ≤ x Use this symbol "≤" because it means

less than or equal.

Now, combine them in only one inequality

Start from the second inequality, and turn the 1st inequality

1 ≤ x ≤ 5

And that's all.
