Question

Solve and graph:

$-6 \le 6x + 3 \le 21$

Answer

Write $-6 \le 6x + 3 \le 21$ as two simple inequalities:

$-6 \leq 6x + 3$ $6x + 3 \leq 21$

Solve the inequalities:

$-3 - 6 \leq 6x$ $6x \leq 21 - 3$

$-9 \leq 6x$ $6x \leq 18$

$-\frac{9}{6} \leq x$ $x \leq 3$

Write the final solution as a single compound inequality:

$-\frac{9}{6} \leq x \leq 3$

For interval notation:

$[-\frac{9}{6}, 3] = [-1 \frac{3}{6}, 3]$

Now graph:
