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 :
