Let's write the inequality in math:

-38≤ 5x+2 ≤- 8. Add - 2 to each of the 3 parts of inequalities:

-38 - 2 ≤ 5x+2-2≤ - 8 -2
-40 ≤ 5x ≤ -10; Divide all parts by 5:
- 8 ≤ x ≤ - 2 .This is the solution and graphically:

--------------(- 8)------------------------------(-2)------0------------------------
_________ x_____________
