You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2 < (5 - 2x)/3 < 7
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%282%29%3C3%285-2x%29%2F3%3C3%287%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%3C5-2x%3C21\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6-5%3C5-5-2x%3C21-5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%3C-2x%3C16\"$ Flip the inequality signs when you divide by a negative number.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F-2%3E-2x%2F-2%3E16%2F-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-1%2F2%3Ex%3E-8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28-8%3Cx%3C-1%2F2%29\"$ Write the numbers least to greatest making sure to keep the inequality signs pointing at the same numbers.
