What is the correct number line interval for (-1\le \frac{x+2}{4}\le 3)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ([-6,10])

The direct answer is option A: \([-6,10]\). Begin with \(-1\le\frac{x+2}{4}\le3\). Because 4 is positive, multiplying all three parts by 4 does not reverse either inequality: \(-4\le x+2\le12\). Subtract 2 throughout: \(-6\le x\le10\). Both original inequalities were non-strict, so both endpoints remain included. Therefore the interval is \([-6,10]\). Option A is correct and uses square brackets at both ends. Option B, \((-6,10)\), wrongly excludes both endpoints. Option C, \([-2,12]\), results from forgetting that 2 must be subtracted after clearing the denominator. Option D has the same incorrect endpoints and also excludes them. The positive multiplier 4 is important; a negative multiplier would reverse inequality signs. Exam cue: solve a compound inequality in the same order on all three parts, then choose brackets from inclusion.
