Answer

$\color{blue}{[-12, 6]}$

Work Step by Step

Multiply $3$ to each part: \begin{array}{ccccc} &3(-5)&\le &3 \cdot \dfrac{x-3}{3} &\le &3(1) \\&-15 &\le &x-3 &\le &3 \end{array} Add $3$ to each part: \begin{array}{ccccc} \\&-15+3 &\le &x-3+3 &\le &3+3 \\&-12 &\le &x &\le &6 \end{array} Thus, the solution to the given inequality is: $\color{blue}{[-12, 6]}$
