Solve for x -1<=2x-3<=5

$- 1 \leq 2 x - 3 \leq 5$

Step 1

Move all terms not containing $x$ from the center section of the inequality.

Add $3$ to each section of the inequality because it does not contain the variable we are trying to solve for.

$- 1 + 3 \leq 2 x \leq 5 + 3$

Add $- 1$ and $3$ .

$2 \leq 2 x \leq 5 + 3$

Add $5$ and $3$ .

$2 \leq 2 x \leq 8$

Step 2

Divide each term in the inequality by $2$ .

$\frac{2}{2} \leq \frac{2 x}{2} \leq \frac{8}{2}$

Step 3

Divide $2$ by $2$ .

$1 \leq \frac{2 x}{2} \leq \frac{8}{2}$

Step 4

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$1 \leq \frac{2 x}{2} \leq \frac{8}{2}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$1 \leq x \leq \frac{8}{2}$

Step 5

Divide $8$ by $2$ .

$1 \leq x \leq 4$

Step 6

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Inequality Form:

$1 \leq x \leq 4$

Interval Notation:

$[1, 4]$
