Answer:
all real numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the solution to the first inequality:
3(2x +1) > 21 . . . . . . given
6x +3 > 21 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
6x > 18 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3
x > 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
This is all numbers to the right of 3 on the number line.
__
The solution to the second inequality is ...
4x +3 < 3x + 7 . . . . given
x < 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3x+3
This is all numbers to the left of 4 on the number line.
__
The conjunction in the system of inequalities is "or", so we are looking for values of x that will satisfy at least one of the conditions. <em>Any value of x</em> will satisfy one or the other or both of these inequalities. The solution is all real numbers.
