Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Simplify the Inequality
Given the inequality:
\[ -13 \leq \frac{2x}{3} - 15c < -7 \]
First, isolate the term with \( x \) by adding \( 15c \) to all parts of the inequality:
\[ -13 + 15c \leq \frac{2x}{3} < -7 + 15c \]
Step 2: Eliminate the Fraction
Multiply all parts of the inequality by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
\[ 3(-13 + 15c) \leq 2x < 3(-7 + 15c) \]
\[ -39 + 45c \leq 2x < -21 + 45c \]
Step 3: Solve for \( x \)
Divide all parts of the inequality by 2 to solve for \( x \):
\[ \frac{-39 + 45c}{2} \leq x < \frac{-21 + 45c}{2} \]
\[ -19.5 + 22.5c \leq x < -10.5 + 22.5c \]
Final Answer
The solution set in interval notation is:
\[ [-19.5 + 22.5c, -10.5 + 22.5c) \]
