Question

Which of the following is the solution of a - 4 > 1 and a + 2 < 1?


All Real Numbers

No Solution

Answer 1

You are told that \(a-4>1\) and \(a+2<1\). Try solving for \(a\) in both: \(a>5\) and \(a<-1\). Notice how this is a contradiction since there is no number that is both greater than \(5\) and less than \(-1\).
