Answer

$\left[ -10,2 \right]$

Work Step by Step

Using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ or the Distributive Property and the properties of inequality, the solution to the given inequality, $ -3\le\dfrac{1}{2}x+2\le3 ,$ is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} -3\le\dfrac{1}{2}x+2\le3 \\\\ 2(-3)\le2\left( \dfrac{1}{2}x+2 \right)\le2(3) \\\\ -6\le x+4\le6 \\\\ -6-4\le x+4-4\le6-4 \\\\ -10\le x\le2 .\end{array} Hence, the solution set is the interval $ \left[ -10,2 \right] .$
