-11 < 6x-5< 7
\n" ); document.write( "add 5
\n" ); document.write( "-6 < 6x < 12
\n" ); document.write( "divide by 6
\n" ); document.write( "-1 < x < 2
\n" ); document.write( "check in original inequality
\n" ); document.write( "-1 shouldn't work, and it doesn't
\n" ); document.write( "-11 < 6(-1)-5< 7
\n" ); document.write( "-11 is not > -11
\n" ); document.write( "2 should not work
\n" ); document.write( "-11 < 6(2)-5< 7
\n" ); document.write( "7 is not < 7
\n" ); document.write( "try x = 3/2 it should work
\n" ); document.write( "-11 < 6(3/2)-5< 7
\n" ); document.write( "-11 < 9 - 5 < 7
\n" ); document.write( "-11 < 4 < 7
\n" ); document.write( "it works
\n" ); document.write( "-1/2 should work
\n" ); document.write( "-11 < 6(-1/2)-5< 7
\n" ); document.write( "-11 < -3 < 7
\n" ); document.write( "it works
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
