To prove:

3 - 2x ≥ x + $\frac{1 - x}{3}$ > $\frac{2x}{5}$

Solving L.H.S. of the above inequation, we get :

⇒ 3 - 2x ≥ x + $\frac{1 - x}{3}$

⇒ 3 - 2x ≥ $\frac{3x + 1 - x}{3}$

⇒ 3(3 - 2x) ≥ 2x + 1

⇒ 9 - 6x ≥ 2x + 1

⇒ 2x + 6x ≤ 9 - 1

⇒ 8x ≤ 8

⇒ x ≤ $\frac{8}{8}$

⇒ x ≤ 1 ............(1)

Solving R.H.S. of the above equation, we get :

⇒ x + $\frac{1 - x}{3} \gt \frac{2x}{5}$

⇒ $\frac{3x + 1 - x}{3} \gt \frac{2x}{5}$

⇒ 5(2x + 1) > 3 × 2x

⇒ 10x + 5 > 6x

⇒ 10x - 6x > -5

⇒ 4x > -5

⇒ x > $-\frac{5}{4}$ ...........(2)

From equation (1) and (2), we get :

Solution set = {x : $-\frac{5}{4}$ < x ≤ 1, x ∈ R}

Representation of solution set on real number line is :
