Answer

$\left[ -\dfrac{7}{3},7 \right]$

Work Step by Step

Using properties of inequality, then, \begin{array}{l} -5\le \dfrac{-3x+1}{4}\le2\\\\ -5\cdot4\le \dfrac{-3x+1}{4}\cdot4\le2\cdot4\\\\ -20\le -3x+1\le8\\\\ -20-1\le -3x+1-1\le8-1\\\\ -21\le -3x\le7\\\\ 7\ge x\ge-\dfrac{7}{3}\\\\ -\dfrac{7}{3}\le x\le7 .\end{array} Hence, the solution set is $ \text{ the interval } \left[ -\dfrac{7}{3},7 \right] $.
