Math Problem Statement
Solution
The given image represents a double inequality:
Let's solve this inequality step-by-step.
Step 1: Break the Compound Inequality
The given compound inequality can be broken into two parts:
Step 2: Solve Each Part
Part 1:
Subtract 1 from both sides:
Divide by 2:
or equivalently:
Part 2:
Subtract 1 from both sides:
Divide by 2:
Step 3: Combine the Results
We have two inequalities for :
It is clear that there is no possible value of that satisfies both conditions simultaneously. Therefore, there is no solution to the given inequality.
Summary
The inequality has no solution.
