Solve for x 1/6<(2x-13)/12<=2/3

$\frac{1}{6} < \frac{2 x - 13}{12} \leq \frac{2}{3}$

Step 1

Multiply each term in the inequality by $12$ .

$\frac{1}{6} \cdot 12 < \frac{2 x - 13}{12} \cdot 12 \leq \frac{2}{3} \cdot 12$

Step 2

Cancel the common factor of $6$ .

Factor $6$ out of $12$ .

$\frac{1}{6} \cdot (6 (2)) < \frac{2 x - 13}{12} \cdot 12 \leq \frac{2}{3} \cdot 12$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{1}{6} \cdot (6 \cdot 2) < \frac{2 x - 13}{12} \cdot 12 \leq \frac{2}{3} \cdot 12$

Rewrite the expression.

$2 < \frac{2 x - 13}{12} \cdot 12 \leq \frac{2}{3} \cdot 12$

Step 3

Cancel the common factor of $12$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$2 < \frac{2 x - 13}{12} \cdot 12 \leq \frac{2}{3} \cdot 12$

Rewrite the expression.

$2 < 2 x - 13 \leq \frac{2}{3} \cdot 12$

Step 4

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Factor $3$ out of $12$ .

$2 < 2 x - 13 \leq \frac{2}{3} \cdot (3 (4))$

Cancel the common factor.

$2 < 2 x - 13 \leq \frac{2}{3} \cdot (3 \cdot 4)$

Rewrite the expression.

$2 < 2 x - 13 \leq 2 \cdot 4$

Step 5

Multiply $2$ by $4$ .

$2 < 2 x - 13 \leq 8$

Step 6

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

Add $13$ to each section of the inequality because it does not contain the variable we are trying to solve for.

$2 + 13 < 2 x \leq 8 + 13$

Add $2$ and $13$ .

$15 < 2 x \leq 8 + 13$

Add $8$ and $13$ .

$15 < 2 x \leq 21$

Step 7

Divide each term in the inequality by $2$ .

$\frac{15}{2} < \frac{2 x}{2} \leq \frac{21}{2}$

Step 8

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{15}{2} < \frac{2 x}{2} \leq \frac{21}{2}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$\frac{15}{2} < x \leq \frac{21}{2}$

Step 9

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Inequality Form:

$\frac{15}{2} < x \leq \frac{21}{2}$

Interval Notation:

$(\frac{15}{2}, \frac{21}{2}]$

Step 10

Solve for x 1/6<(2x-13)/12<=2/3
