Solution
**5. Solve for \( x \):**
\[
\frac{3(x-2)}{2} - \frac{7(x-3)}{4} \geq 3
\]
1. Write both terms with a common denominator (4):
\[
\frac{6(x-2)}{4} - \frac{7(x-3)}{4} \geq 3
\]
2. Combine the fractions:
\[
\frac{6(x-2) - 7(x-3)}{4} \geq 3
\]
3. Expand the numerator:
\[
\frac{6x - 12 - 7x + 21}{4} \geq 3 \quad \Longrightarrow \quad \frac{-x + 9}{4} \geq 3
\]
4. Multiply both sides by 4:
\[
-x + 9 \geq 12
\]
5. Subtract 9 from both sides:
\[
-x \geq 3
\]
6. Multiply by \(-1\) (remembering to reverse the inequality):
\[
x \leq -3
\]

**6. Solve for \( z \) and write the answer in interval notation:**
\[
\frac{4-z}{2} - \frac{2z-1}{3} < z-2
\]
1. Find a common denominator (6) for the left-hand side:
\[
\frac{3(4-z) - 2(2z-1)}{6} < z-2
\]
2. Distribute and simplify the numerator:
\[
\frac{12 - 3z - 4z + 2}{6} = \frac{14 - 7z}{6} < z-2
\]
3. Multiply both sides by 6:
\[
14 - 7z < 6(z-2)
\]
4. Expand the right-hand side:
\[
14 - 7z < 6z - 12
\]
5. Add \( 7z \) to both sides:
\[
14 < 13z - 12
\]
6. Add 12 to both sides:
\[
26 < 13z
\]
7. Divide by 13:
\[
2 < z
\]
8. In interval notation, the solution is:
\[
(2, \infty)
\]
---
**7. Solve for \( x \):**
\[
x - \frac{5}{2} \geq 3x + 3(x+5)
\]
1. Simplify the right-hand side by distributing:
\[
3x + 3(x+5) = 3x + 3x + 15 = 6x + 15
\]
2. The inequality becomes:
\[
x - \frac{5}{2} \geq 6x + 15
\]
3. Subtract \( x \) from both sides:
\[
-\frac{5}{2} \geq 5x + 15
\]
4. Subtract 15 from both sides (express 15 as \(\frac{30}{2}\)):
\[
-\frac{5}{2} - \frac{30}{2} \geq 5x \quad \Longrightarrow \quad -\frac{35}{2} \geq 5x
\]
5. Divide both sides by 5:
\[
-\frac{35}{10} \geq x \quad \Longrightarrow \quad x \leq -\frac{7}{2}
\]
---
**8. Solve for \( x \) and illustrate the answer on a number line:**
\[
3+\frac{x+2}{5} > \frac{1-x}{3} + 2
\]
1. Combine the constant on the right-hand side (write 2 as \(\frac{6}{3}\)):
\[
\frac{1-x}{3} + 2 = \frac{1-x}{3} + \frac{6}{3} = \frac{7-x}{3}
\]
2. The inequality becomes:
\[
3+\frac{x+2}{5} > \frac{7-x}{3}
\]
3. Multiply every term by the least common denominator (15):
\[
15\cdot 3 + 15\cdot\frac{x+2}{5} > 15\cdot\frac{7-x}{3}
\]
4. Simplify term-by-term:
\[
45 + 3(x+2) > 5(7-x)
\]
5. Distribute:
\[
45 + 3x + 6 > 35 - 5x
\]
6. Combine like terms:
\[
51 + 3x > 35 - 5x
\]
7. Add \(5x\) to both sides:
\[
51 + 8x > 35
\]
8. Subtract 51 from both sides:
\[
8x > -16
\]
9. Divide by 8:
\[
x > -2
\]

**9. Solve for \( x \) and illustrate the answer on a number line:**
\[
2x - \frac{x-4}{4} > \frac{3(3x-1)}{4}
\]
1. Write \(2x\) with denominator 4:
\[
2x = \frac{8x}{4}
\]
So,
\[
\frac{8x}{4} - \frac{x-4}{4} > \frac{9x-3}{4}
\]
2. Combine the fractions on the left:
\[
\frac{8x - (x-4)}{4} = \frac{8x - x + 4}{4} = \frac{7x+4}{4} > \frac{9x-3}{4}
\]
3. Multiply both sides by 4:
\[
7x + 4 > 9x - 3
\]
4. Subtract \(7x\) from both sides:
\[
4 > 2x - 3
\]
5. Add 3 to both sides:
\[
7 > 2x
\]
6. Divide by 2:
\[
x < \frac{7}{2}
\]

**10. Solve for \( x \) and illustrate the answer on a number line:**
\[
-1 \leq x-3 < 5
\]
1. Add 3 to all parts of the inequality:
\[
-1 + 3 \leq x < 5 + 3
\]
2. Simplify:
\[
2 \leq x < 8
\]
*Number line illustration:*
A closed circle at 2 and an open circle at 8, shading between 2 and 8.
---
**11. Solve for \( x \) and illustrate the answer on a number line:**
\[
-1 \leq 2x-5 \leq 5
\]
1. Add 5 to all parts:
\[
-1 + 5 \leq 2x \leq 5 + 5
\]
2. Simplify:
\[
4 \leq 2x \leq 10
\]
3. Divide all parts by 2:
\[
2 \leq x \leq 5
\]
*Number line illustration:*
Closed circles at 2 and 5, shading the interval between.
