Question

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

Answer 1

$x - 3 < -9 ~or~ x + 5 \ge 12$

Add 3 to both sides of the left inequality.
Subtract 5 from both sides of the right inequality.

$x < -6 ~or~ x \ge 7$

From the left inequality, you get:
An open circle on -6. Shading to the left.

From the right inequality, you get:
A closed circle on 7. Shading to the right.

Answer: The third choice.
