Question

Which is the solution set of the compound inequality 3.5x - 10 > -3 and 8x - 9 < 39

Answer 1

Hello! So, for the first inequality, we have to add 10 to both sides. When you do that, 3.5x > 7. Then, you have to divide both sides by 3.5. When you do that, you get x > 2. Then, for the second inequality, you have to add 9 to both sides, then you would get 8x < 48. Divide both sides by 8 and you get x < 6. The compound inequality for this question would be 2 < x < 6.
