Solve the inequality LaTeX:  \displaystyle -11 \leq 7 x - 8 < -7 . Write the solution in interval notation.

Since this is a three part inequality we must do the same thing to all three parts.Adding 8 to all three parts gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -19 \leq 7 x - 8 < -15  . Dividing off the coefficient of LaTeX:  \displaystyle x gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle - \frac{19}{7} \leq x < - \frac{15}{7} The solution is LaTeX:  \displaystyle \big[- \frac{19}{7},- \frac{15}{7}\big)
