-3%2F2%3C%283%282x-4%29%29%2F5%3C=2 Start with the given compound inequality


10%28-3%2F2%29%3C10%28%283%282x-4%29%29%2F5%29%3C=10%282%29 Multiply all sides by the LCD 10. This will eliminate the fractions


-15%3C6%282x-4%29%3C=20 Distribute and multiply


-15%3C12x-24%3C=20 Distribute again




9%3C12x%3C=44 Add 24 to all sides






9%2F12%3Cx%3C=44%2F12 Divide every side by 12 to isolate x.


3%2F4%3Cx%3C=11%2F3 Reduce.



So the solution in interval notation is: (3%2F4,11%2F3]


Now let's graph the solution set



Note: at x=3%2F4 there is a open circle (which means this point is excluded) and at x=11%2F3 there is a closed circle (which means this point is included)
