OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

solve 4x<2x-10 ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You will get two inequalities with "x". Your question asks for "and", so you will have to get the intersection of those 2 inequalitites.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x<-5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes!

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

that is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve for the other and then take the intersection

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uh what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

intersection

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where they "overlap"
