Cevap

The values of xx that satisfy the inequality are 4-4, 1-1, and 11.
Solving the compound inequality (5x)2x15x-(5 - x) \le 2x - 1 \le 5 - x yields the solution range 4x2-4 \le x \le 2. The candidate values 4-4, 1-1, and 11 all lie within this range, making them valid solutions.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the non-negativity constraint for the right-hand side expression.
Since an absolute value 2x1|2x - 1| must be non-negative, we must have 5x05 - x \ge 0, which simplifies to x5x \le 5.
An absolute value cannot be less than a negative number.
2
Rewrite the absolute value inequality 2x15x|2x - 1| \le 5 - x as a compound linear inequality.
(5x)2x15x-(5 - x) \le 2x - 1 \le 5 - x, which expands to 5+x2x15x-5 + x \le 2x - 1 \le 5 - x.
For any non-negative expression BB, AB|A| \le B is logically equivalent to BAB-B \le A \le B.
3
Solve the left-hand inequality 5+x2x1-5 + x \le 2x - 1.
Subtracting xx from both sides gives 5x1-5 \le x - 1. Adding 11 to both sides yields x4x \ge -4.
Isolating xx establishes the lower bound of the solution set.
4
Solve the right-hand inequality 2x15x2x - 1 \le 5 - x.
Adding xx to both sides gives 3x153x - 1 \le 5. Adding 11 yields 3x63x \le 6, so x2x \le 2.
Isolating xx establishes the upper bound of the solution set.
5
Intersect all constraints to find the valid domain for xx.
Combining x4x \ge -4, x2x \le 2, and x5x \le 5 gives the closed interval [4,2][-4, 2].
A valid value of xx must satisfy all component inequalities simultaneously.
6
Evaluate the candidate choices against the solution interval [4,2][-4, 2].
The values 4-4, 1-1, and 11 fall within [4,2][-4, 2], whereas 33 and 5-5 fall outside this interval.
Only numbers inside [4,2][-4, 2] satisfy the original inequality.
