The solution is: [x|__ ≤ x ≤ __]
 
 
 
 
 Answer by joecbaseball(37)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Solve this in two parts: 
-4  ≤ 3x – 3     AND     3x – 3 ≤ -2 
In the first part, solve for x to get  -1/3 ≤ x 
In the second part, solve for x to get x ≤ 1/3 
So, your answer is [ x|-1/3 ≤ x ≤ 1/3]
 
Note:  It may help you see the answer if you plot each value of x on a number line.  For most students, that is easier to see than just seeing the values.
 
Good luck !
