Step-by-step explanation:

William is thinking of a number n.

Then

two times his number = 2n

five less than two times his number = 2n - 5

The result is between negative three and fifteen, so

[tex]-3\le 2n-5\le 15[/tex]

Solve this compound inequality. First, add 5:

[tex]-3+5\le 2n-5+5\le 15+5\\ \\2\le 2n\le 20[/tex]

Divide it by 2:

[tex]1\le n\le 10[/tex]

William's number is between 1 and 10
