Question: 266

15. What is the solution set to the inequality –4 ≤ 3x – 1 ≤ 8 ?

  • A. –1 ≤ x, x > 3
  • B. 1 ≤ x, x ≥ 3
  • C. –1 ≤ x ≤ 3
  • D. 1 ≤ x ≤ 3

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

C

When solving an equation with two inequality signs, perform the same operation to the two sides and the middle. Start by adding 1 to both sides and the middle: –3 ≤ 3x ≤ 9. Divide both sides by 3: –1 ≤ x ≤ 3.
