Step 1.1

Subtract $5$ from each section of the inequality because it does not contain the variable we are trying to solve for.

$19 - 5 \geq - 2 x > 11 - 5$

Step 1.2

Subtract $5$ from $19$ .

$14 \geq - 2 x > 11 - 5$

Step 1.3

Subtract $5$ from $11$ .

$14 \geq - 2 x > 6$

Step 2

Divide each term in the inequality by $- 2$ .

$\frac{14}{- 2} \leq \frac{- 2 x}{- 2} < \frac{6}{- 2}$

Step 3

Divide $14$ by $- 2$ .

$- 7 \leq \frac{- 2 x}{- 2} < \frac{6}{- 2}$

Step 4

Cancel the common factor of $- 2$ .

Step 4.1

Cancel the common factor.

$- 7 \leq \frac{- 2 x}{- 2} < \frac{6}{- 2}$

Step 4.2

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$- 7 \leq x < \frac{6}{- 2}$

Step 5

Divide $6$ by $- 2$ .

$- 7 \leq x < - 3$
