Solve the inequality LaTeX:  \displaystyle -7 \leq 3 - 8 x < 11 . Write the solution in interval notation.

Since this is a three part inequality we must do the same thing to all three parts.Subtracting 3 from all three parts gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -10 \leq 3 - 8 x < 8  . Dividing off the coefficient of LaTeX:  \displaystyle x gives and reversing all of the inequalies LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{5}{4} \geq x > -1 The solution is LaTeX:  \displaystyle \big(-1,\frac{5}{4}\big]
