Answer:


- (8)/(3) \geqslant x \geqslant - (13)/(3)

Explanation:

to understand this

you need to know about:

  • inequality
  • solving inequality
  • PEMDAS

given:

5 ≤ - 3x- 3 ≤ 10

to solve:

x

let's solve:

few notes about inequality

the direction of the inequality doesn't change if you

  • Add (or subtract) a number from both sides
  • Multiply (or divide) both sides by a positive number
  • Simplify a side

the direction of the inequality does change

if you

  • Multiply (or divide) both sides by a negative number
  • Swapping left and right hand sides


step - 1 : difine


5 \leqslant - 3x - 3 \leqslant 10


step - 2 : \\ add \: 3 \: in \: each \: sides


5 + 3 \leqslant - 3x - 3 + 3 \leqslant 10 + 3


8 \leqslant - 3x \leqslant 13


step - 3 : \\ divide \: - 3\: from \: each \: sides \: \\ and \: swap \: the \: inequalily


\therefore - (8)/(3) \geqslant x \geqslant - (13)/(3)
