Choose the correct description of the graph of the compound inequality x - 2 > -3 and 3x <= 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's that second expression: "x - 2 > -3 and 3x 12" ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry but what do you mean by the second expression

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh... the second part of the compound inequality was incomplete... i see you corrected it...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah sorry about that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to solve this, just solve each inequality separately and join the solution with "AND" solve: x - 2 > -3 AND 3x <= 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second part would be x<= 4 right but the first part I have no idea could you walk me through it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the first part, add 2 to both sides of the inequality: x - 2 + 2 > -3 + 2 x > ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be x>-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Never mind I got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, that is correct ^^^... so do you know how the graph looks?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
