Question 97979: 2) -3/8 ≤ -1/4x + 1/8 < 5/8
Answer by tutorcecilia(2152) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-3/8 ≤ -1/4x + 1/8 < 5/8 [isolate or "solve" for the x-term]
(8)(-3/8 ≤ -1/4x + 1/8 < 5/8) [get rid of the fractions by multiplying each term by the Lowest common denominator (8)]
.
-3 ≤ -2x + 1 < 5
-3-1 ≤ -2x + 1-1 < 5 -1 [subtract (1) from all terms]
-4 ≤ -2x < 4
-4/-2 => -2x/-2 > 4/-2 [divide by (-2) and flip the signs]
2 => x > -2
or
-2 < x <= 2
