The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequality \(-\frac{5}{3} < \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3}x < -\frac{3}{2}\), we will break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Rewrite the inequality The given inequality is: \[ -\frac{5}{3} < \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3}x < -\frac{3}{2} \] ### Step 2: Multiply the entire inequality by 6 To eliminate the fractions, we can multiply the entire inequality by 6 (the least common multiple of the denominators 2 and 3): \[ 6 \cdot \left(-\frac{5}{3}\right) < 6 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3}x\right) < 6 \cdot \left(-\frac{3}{2}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ -10 < 3 - 2x < -9 \] ### Step 3: Split the inequality Now we can split the inequality into two parts: 1. \(-10 < 3 - 2x\) 2. \(3 - 2x < -9\) ### Step 4: Solve the first part For the first part, \(-10 < 3 - 2x\): 1. Subtract 3 from both sides: \[ -10 - 3 < -2x \implies -13 < -2x \] 2. Divide by -2 (remember to reverse the inequality): \[ \frac{-13}{-2} > x \implies x < 6.5 \] ### Step 5: Solve the second part For the second part, \(3 - 2x < -9\): 1. Subtract 3 from both sides: \[ -2x < -9 - 3 \implies -2x < -12 \] 2. Divide by -2 (again, reverse the inequality): \[ x > 6 \] ### Step 6: Combine the results From the two parts, we have: \[ 6 < x < 6.5 \] ### Step 7: Find possible values for \(x - 3\) Now, we need to find possible values for \(x - 3\): 1. Subtract 3 from all parts of the inequality: \[ 6 - 3 < x - 3 < 6.5 - 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ 3 < x - 3 < 3.5 \] ### Conclusion Thus, a possible value for \(x - 3\) could be any number between 3 and 3.5. For example, \(x - 3 = 3.1\) is a valid choice. ---
