Solve each inequality and graph the solution set on a number line. \(-3 \leq \frac{2}{3} x-5<-1\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The solution to the inequality is \( 3 \leq x < 6 \). In the number line, this solution will be represented by a line stretching from a filled dot at 3 to an open circle just before 6.

Step by step solution

01

Isolate the variable x

First, the goal should be to isolate x (the variable). The number 5 is being subtracted from \( \frac{2}{3} \)x, so adding 5 to all sides will help isolate x. This results in \( -3+5 \leq \frac{2}{3} x <-1+5 \), which simplifies to \( 2 \leq \frac{2}{3} x < 4 \). To isolate x further, multiply each side of the inequalities by \( \frac{3}{2} \), resulting in \( 2*\frac{3}{2} \leq x < 4*\frac{3}{2} \), which simplifies to \( 3 \leq x < 6 \).
02

Graph the solution set on a number line

Draw a number line to graph x values that meet both conditions (3 ≤ x and x < 6). For the first condition, include 3 which is shown as a filled dot or closed circle. For the second condition, from 3 to just before 6, draw the line and at 6, draw an open circle representing x is less than but not equal to 6.
