      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! -6 <= 3(x+5) <= 18 
 
 -6/3 <= 3(x+5)/3 <= 18/3 ... Divide all sides by 3
 
 
 -2 <= x+5 <= 6
 
 
 -2-5 <= x+5-5 <= 6-5 ... Subtract 5 from all sides
 
 
 -7 <= x+0 <= 1
 
 
 -7 <= x <= 1
 
 
 -------------------------------------------------------
 
 
 Graphing:
 
 
 Step 1) Draw a number line. Include the values -10, -9, ..., 9, 10
 
 
 Step 2) Plot closed circles at x = -7 and x = 1
 
 
 Step 3) Shade between the closed circles.
