MCQ
Solving $ – 8 \leq 5\text{x} – 3<7, $ we get:
- A$\frac{–1}{2}\leq \text{x}\leq 2$
- B$1\leq \text{x}<2$
- C$ –1\leq\text{x}<2$
- D$ –1<\text{x}\leq2$
Solution:
Given,
$-8\leq5\text{x}-3$ and $5\text{x}-3<7$
Let us solve these two inequalities simultaneously.
$-8\leq5\text{x}-3$ and $5\text{x}-3<7$ can be written as:
$– 8\leq5\text{x} –3 < 7$
Adding 3, we get
$– 8 + 3\leq5\text{x}-3+3<7+3$
$–5\leq5\text{x}<10$
Dividing by 5, we get
$–1\leq\text{x}<2$
