Question

Choose the correct description of the graph of the compound inequality

x - 3 < -7 or x + 5 greater than or equal to 8

A. A number line with an open circle on -4, shading to the left, and a closed circle on 3, shading to the right.

B. A number line with a closed circle on -4, shading to the left, and an open circle on 3, shading to the right.

C. A number line with an open circle on -4, a closed circle on 3, and shading in between.

D. A number line with a closed circle on -4, an open circle on 3, and shading in between.

Answer 1

x-3 < -7 or x+5>=8
x < -4 or x>=3

So an open circle on -4 with shading to the left and a closed circle on 3 with shading to the right.
