First add the prices of the original books.
2.5+4.95+6=11.45
Find 20% of 11.45
=2.29
Therefore I saved $2.29
In this question, we have to write the set of points from -6 to 3 but excluding -2 and 3 as a union of intervals .
For union, we use U.
For the points that we have to exclude , we put parenthesis on there side that is ().
Therefore the required interval form is

As we see that () are used with -2 and 3 . And that's the required interval form .
1. (x + 2 < 5) Subtract two from each side to get (x < 3)
2. (x - 7 > -6) Add 7 to both sides to get (x > 1)
