Question

-17/2 < -1/2 - 4x ≤ 15/2

Answer 1

Given info: -17/2 < (-1/2) - 4x ≤ 15/2

Find the value of x ?

Explanation:↓

Given in-equation is -17/2 < (-1/2) - 4x ≤ 15/2

⇛ -17/2 < (-1-8x)/2 ≤ 15/2

On multiplying with 2 then

⇛ 2(-17/2) < 2(-1-8x)/2 ≤ 2(15/2)

⇛ -17 < -1-8x ≤ 15

On adding 1 in the in-equation then

⇛ -17+1 < -1-8x+1 ≤ 15+1

⇛ -16 < -8x ≤ 16

On dividing by 8 in the in-equation then

⇛ -16/8 < -8x/8 ≤ 16/8

⇛ -2 < -x ≤ 2

⇛ 2 > x ≥ - 2

⇛ -2 ≤ x < 2

⇛ x € [-2,2)

Answer:→The solution set = { x : -2 ≤ x < 2, x€R }

The possible values of x = -2,-1,0,1
