Math Problem Statement
2 times the answer of x is greater than or equal to 6 and less than x. Find the range of x.
Solution
We need to solve the inequality given by the problem:
Step 1: Solve the first inequality
To solve :
Step 2: Solve the second inequality
To solve :
Step 3: Combine the inequalities
Now, let's combine the two conditions:
These two conditions cannot be true at the same time because there is no that satisfies and simultaneously.
Conclusion
There is no value of that satisfies both inequalities. Therefore, there is no range of that meets the given conditions.
