Question

Solve the following inequation and represent the solution set on the number line : `-3 < -(1)/(2) - (2x)/(3) ≤ (5)/(6), x ∈ "R"`

Sum

Solution

`-3 < -(1)/(2) - (2x)/(3) ≤ (5)/(6), x ∈ "R"`

(i) `-3 < -(1)/(2) - (2x)/(3)`

⇒  `-3 ≤ - (1/2 + (2x)/3)`

⇒ `- (1/2 + (2x)/3) > -3`

⇒ `-(2x)/(3) > -3 + (1)/(2)`

⇒ `-(2x)/(3) > (-5)/(2)`

⇒ `(2x)/(3) < (5)/(2)`

⇒ `x < (5)/(2) xx (3)/(2)`

⇒ `x < (15)/(4)`                 ....(i)

(ii) `-(1)/(2) - (2x)/(3) ≤ (5)/(6)`

⇒ `-(2x)/(3) ≤ (5)/(6) + (1)/(2)`

⇒ `(-2x)/(3) ≤ (5 + 3)/(6)`

⇒ `(-2)/(3) xx ≤ (8)/(6)`

⇒ `(2)/(3)x ≥ (-8)/(6)`

⇒ `x ≥ (-8)/(6) xx (3)/(2)`
⇒ x ≥ -2
⇒ -2 ≤ x                      ....(ii)
⇒  From (i) and (ii),

`-2 ≤ ≤ (15)/(4)`
∴ Solution = `{ x : x ∈ "R", -2 ≤ x < (15)/(4)}`
Now solution on number line
