Solve the following compound inequality and answer the questions that follow: −15≤6−3(2x−5)<9-15 \le 6 - 3(2x - 5) < 9 (i) Solve the compound inequality step by step, carefully indicating where (if at all) the direction of an inequality sign changes. (ii) Write the solution set first in set-builder form and then in interval notation. (iii) Show, by direct substitution of two suitable test values, that your final solution satisfies the original compound inequality.
