Question

Choose the correct description of the graph of the compound inequality:

Answer 1

First, let's solve the inequality:
x - 3 < -9
//add 3 to both sides: 
x<-6



the second inequality: 
x + 5 ≥ 10 
//substract 5 from both sides: 
x ≥ 5

So we need to map:

x<-6
x ≥ 5

Now, shading will be to the leftof -6 and to the right of 5 - this is compatible with answers A and B. 

A closed circle means that the number is included, so the correct answer is A!
