Given,

⇒ 2 + 4x < 2x - 5 ≤ 3x

Solving L.H.S. of the above inequation :

⇒ 2 + 4x < 2x - 5

⇒ 4x - 2x < - 5 - 2

⇒ 2x < -7

⇒ x < 72-\dfrac{7}{2}

⇒ x < -3.5 ……….(1)

Solving R.H.S. of the above inequation :

⇒ 2x - 5 ≤ 3x

⇒ 3x - 2x ≥ -5

⇒ x ≥ -5 ………….(2)

From (1) and (2), we get :

-5 ≤ x < -3.5; Since, x ∈ Z

Hence, x = {-5, -4}.
