To solve the inequality -14 ≤ 3x - 5 ≤ 1, you need to isolate x.
First, add 5 to all parts of the inequality:
-14 + 5 ≤ 3x - 5 + 5 ≤ 1 + 5
This simplifies to:
-9 ≤ 3x ≤ 6
Next, divide all parts by 3 to isolate x:
(-9)/3 ≤ (3x)/3 ≤ 6/3
This further simplifies to:
-3 ≤ x ≤ 2
So, the solution to the inequality is -3 ≤ x ≤ 2.
