Problem

Solve the following compound inequality and present the solution set both on a number line and in interval notation: a. (i) −4<2(3−x)≤5−x2-4 < 2(3 - x) \le 5 - \dfrac{x}{2} b. (ii) Show each algebraic step used to isolate xx, clearly indicating where (if anywhere) the inequality symbol changes direction. c. (iii) Verify the final answer by testing one value of xx from within the obtained solution interval and one value outside it.
