Question 274662: I have tried watching the video as well as look at the actual problems in the book, but neither actually go over a problem just like the 1 that they have on the quiz. I am taking an on line basic college algebra class in TX. The instructor is non-available and I have asked several others to help with no assistance. I can not go any further in the homework/weekly quizzes until I get this question answers. I do not want the answer I would like help with the process please. The basic question will look like this negative 3 is less thank or equal to 3 minus 2x over 3 (fraction form) is less than or equal to 3.
Thank you for your assistance.

-3%3C=%28%283-2x%29%2F3%29%3C=3 i hope i got the question written correctly from you.
u solve for x with the 2 seperate equations and remember dividing by a negative chages directions of the inequality signs.
-3%3C=%28%283-2x%29%2F3%29%3C=3
-3%3C=%28%283-2x%29%2F3%29 and %28%283-2x%29%2F3%29%3C=3
________________________________________
-3%3C=%28%283-2x%29%2F3%29 first equation
-3%283%29%3C=%28%283-2x%29%2F3%29%283%29multiply by 3
-9%3C=%28%283-2x%29%2Fcross%283%29%29cross%283%29cross cancel
-9-3%3C=%283-2x%29-3subtract 3
-12%2F-2%3C=-2x%2F-2divide by -2, remember what i said above
6%3E=x

%28%283-2x%29%2F3%29%3C=3second equation
%28%283-2x%29%2F3%29%283%29%3C=3%283%29multiply by 3
%28%283-2x%29%2Fcross%283%29%29cross%283%29%3C=9cross cancel
3-2x-3%3C=9-3subtract 3
-2x%2F-2%3C=6%2F-2divide by -2, remember what i said above
x%3E=-3

the inequality will look like:
-3%3C=x%3C=6 so x= (-3,6)
