What are the integer values of x which satisfy the inequality -1 < 3 -2x \(\leq\) 5?
-1. 0, 1, 2
-2, 1, 0 , -1
0, 1, 2
-1, 0, 1

Explanation

-1 < 3 -2x and 3 - 2x \(\leq\) 5
2x < 3 + 1 and -2x \(\leq\) 5 - 3
2x < 4 and -2x \(\leq\) 2
x < 2 and x \(\geq\) 2/-2 = x \(\geq\) -1
If -1 \(\leq\) x < 2
it implies that x = -1, 0, 1
