    1600<2570-125.5x<2000 subtract 2570 from all terms ...

    -970<-125.5x<-570 divide all terms by - 125.5 (and reverse signs because of division by a negative!)

    7.73>x>4.54 and x is months since January, and since months can only be integers ...

    x=[5,7]

    So January + 5, 6, and 7 respectively are the three months that satisfy the equation ...

    June, July, and August.
