1600<2570-125.5x<2000 subtract 2570 from all terms...

-970<-125.5x<-570 divide all terms by -125.5 (and reverse signs because of division by a negative!)

7.73>x>4.54 and x is months since January, and since months can only be integers...

x=[5,7]

So January + 5, 6, and 7 respectively are the three months that satisfy the equation...

June, July, and August.
