(3x-3)/(x+1) <= 2
------------
Factor:
[3(x-1)/(x+1)] <= 2
------------
x cannot be -1
-----
Solve the Equality:
(3x-3)/(x+1) = 2
3x-3 = 2x+2
x = 5
--------
Draw a number line and plot x = -1, x = 5
-----
Test the interval (-oo,-1)
[3(x-1)/(x+1)] <= 2
If x = -3 you get (3(-4))/(-2) = 6 < 2 False
so no solutions where -oo
------------------------------------
Test -1< x <5:
[3(x-1)/(x+1)] <= 2
If x = 0 you get (3(-1))/(1) = -3 <=2 True,
so solution in the interval (-1,5]
------------------------------------
Test the interval (5,+oo)
[3(x-1)/(x+1)] <= 2
If x = 10 you get (3(9))/(11 = 27/11 = 2 5/11 <= 2 False,
so no solutions in (5,+oo)
