Let the inequality:


3\text{ }<\text{ 2x - 3}\leq\text{ 13}

1. we add + 3 :


3\text{ +3}<\text{ 2x }\leq\text{ 13}+3

this is equivalent to :


6<\text{ 2x }\leq\text{ 1}6

we resolve for x ( we divide by 2) :


3<\text{ x }\leq8

that is the interval:


(3,\text{ 8}\rbrack

on the real line, the interval is:

On the other hand, the inequality:


-2\text{ }<(3+x)/(4)\leq\text{ 3}

1. Multiply by 4:


-8\text{ }<3+x\leq12

2. Add -3:


-11\text{ }that is the interval:<p></p>[tex](-11,\text{ 9}\rbrack

on the real line, the interval is:
