If sales tax is 7%, that is .07 per dollar. The total payment is $5.35
y-2x-6 would be this expression factored
he solution set is
{
x
∣
x
>
1
}
.
Explanation
For each of these inequalities, there will be a set of
x
-values that make them true. For example, it's pretty clear that large values of
x
(like 1,000) work for both, and negative values (like -1,000) will not work for either.
Since we're asked to solve a "this OR that" pair of inequalities, what we'd like to know are all the
x
-values that will work for at least one of them. To do this, we solve both inequalities for
x
, and then overlap the two solution set
