Answer

$\text{ the interval } \left[ 1,\dfrac{17}{2} \right] $

Work Step by Step

Using properties of inequality, then, \begin{array}{l} -4\le \dfrac{-2x+5}{3}\le1\\\\ -4\cdot3\le \dfrac{-2x+5}{3}\cdot3\le1\cdot3\\\\ -12\le -2x+5\le3\\\\ -12-5\le -2x+5-5\le3-5\\\\ -17\le -2x\le-2\\\\ \dfrac{17}{2}\ge x\ge1\\\\ 1\le x\le\dfrac{17}{2} .\end{array} Hence, the solution set is $ \text{ the interval } \left[ 1,\dfrac{17}{2} \right] $.
