Find the range of the value of $x$ satisfying the inequalities $5 + x \le 8$ and $13 + x \ge 7$

-3 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 3

3 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 6

-6 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 3

-6 $\leq$ x $\leq$ -3

Answer Details

5 + x $\leq$ 8 and 13 + x $\geq$ 7
5 + x $\leq$ 8
X $\leq$ 8 – 5
X $\leq$ 3
And 13 + x $\geq$ 7
X $\geq$ 7 – 15
X $\geq$ -7
Combining the two together
-6 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 3
