Question

Solve the combined inequality and select the answer that best describes the graph of the solution. 
2x + 8 < 10 or 3x - 3 > 12 

 Open dot at -1 shaded to the left, open dot at 4 shaded to the right 

 Open dot at -1 shaded to the left, open dot at 5 shaded to the right 

 Open dot at 1 shaded to the left, open dot at 5 shaded to the right. 

 None of the above

Solve the inequality --
2x + 8 < 10
subtract 8
2x < 2
divide by 2
x < 1
Now solve the other one.
Also remember *or* indicates that both inequalities are to be graphed on the number line,compared to *and* where it means to graph only where the inequalities overlap.
Also less than sign is an open dot and the less than or equal to sign is a closed dot.
