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

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?
