If 5x – 3 ≤ 5 + 3x ≤ 4x + 2, express it as a ≤ x ≤ b and the

1.	If 5x – 3 ≤ 5 + 3x ≤ 4x + 2, express it as a ≤ x ≤ b and then state the values of a and b.
Answer» 5x – 3 ≤ 5 + 3x ≤ 4x + 2 5x – 3 ≤ 5 + 3x and 5 + 3x ≤ 4x + 2 2x ≤ 8 and – x ≤ −3 X ≤ 4 and x ≥ 3 Thus, 3 ≤ x ≤ 4 Hence, a = 3 and b = 4

If 5x – 3 ≤ 5 + 3x ≤ 4x + 2, express it as a ≤ x ≤ b and then state the values of a and b.

Answer»

5x – 3 ≤ 5 + 3x ≤ 4x + 2

5x – 3 ≤ 5 + 3x and 5 + 3x ≤ 4x + 2

2x ≤ 8 and – x ≤ −3

X ≤ 4 and x ≥ 3

Thus, 3 ≤ x ≤ 4

Hence, a = 3 and b = 4
