You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Yes you are correct you can also write the signs like <= \"-12%3C=3x-7%3C=-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Rewrite as two inequalities \"-12%3C=3x-7\" (1) \"3x-7%3C=-2\" (2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-5%3C=3x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-5%2F3%3C=x\" (1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%3C=5%2F3\" (2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So x is bigger than -5/3 but smaller than 5/3.\r
