To solve the inequality -4 < 2(x - 2) <= 11, we can simplify and solve each part separately.
Starting with 2(x - 2), we distribute the 2: 2(x - 2) = 2x - 4.
The inequality becomes:
-4 < 2x - 4 ≤ 11
Adding 4 to each part, we have:
0 < 2x ≤ 15
Dividing each part by 2, we get:
0 < x ≤ 7.5
So the solution set for the inequality is the interval (0, 7.5].
Graphically, this means that x is greater than 0 but less than or equal to 7.5, so the solution would be represented by a shaded line segment from 0 to 7.5, with 0 being an open circle and 7.5 being a closed circle.
The solution set in interval notation is: (0, 7.5]
Solve the inequality. Graph the solution set and write it in interval notation.
