-6 /leq 2x - 2 /leq 0

1 answer

To solve the compound inequality \(-6 \leq 2x - 2 \leq 0\), we can break it into two parts:

  1. \(-6 \leq 2x - 2\)
  2. \(2x - 2 \leq 0\)

Step 1: Solve the first inequality \(-6 \leq 2x - 2\)

Add 2 to both sides:

\[ -6 + 2 \leq 2x \]

\[ -4 \leq 2x \]

Now, divide both sides by 2:

\[ -2 \leq x \]

This can also be written as:

\[ x \geq -2 \]

Step 2: Solve the second inequality \(2x - 2 \leq 0\)

Add 2 to both sides:

\[ 2x \leq 2 \]

Now, divide both sides by 2:

\[ x \leq 1 \]

Step 3: Combine the results

From our two inequalities, we have:

\[ -2 \leq x \leq 1 \]

Thus, the solution to the compound inequality \(-6 \leq 2x - 2 \leq 0\) is:

\[ \boxed{[-2, 1]} \]
