Answer
View full question & answer→Given: $-3+x \leq \frac{8 x}{3}+2 \leq \frac{14}{3}+2 x$, Where $x \in I$
$
\begin{aligned}
& \text { (i) }-3+x \leq \frac{8 x}{3}+2 \\
& -3-2 \leq \frac{8 x}{3}-x \\
& \Rightarrow-5 \leq \frac{5 x}{3} \\
& \Rightarrow-1 \leq \frac{x}{3} \\
& -3 \leq x
\end{aligned}
$
and
$
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{8 x}{3}-2 x \leq \frac{14}{3} \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{2 x}{3} \leq \frac{8}{3} \\
& \Rightarrow x \leq 4
\end{aligned}
$From (i) and (ii),
$
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow-5 \leq \frac{5 x}{3} \text { and } \frac{2 x}{3} \leq \frac{8}{3} \\
& \Rightarrow x \geq-3 \text { and } x \leq 4 \\
& \therefore-3 \leq x \leq 4
\end{aligned}
$
Solution set $=\{-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4\}$
Solution set on number line

$
\begin{aligned}
& \text { (i) }-3+x \leq \frac{8 x}{3}+2 \\

& \Rightarrow-5 \leq \frac{5 x}{3} \\
& \Rightarrow-1 \leq \frac{x}{3} \\
& -3 \leq x
\end{aligned}
$
and
$
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{8 x}{3}-2 x \leq \frac{14}{3} \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{2 x}{3} \leq \frac{8}{3} \\
& \Rightarrow x \leq 4
\end{aligned}
$From (i) and (ii),
$
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow-5 \leq \frac{5 x}{3} \text { and } \frac{2 x}{3} \leq \frac{8}{3} \\
