Which of the following is the solution of a - 4 > 1 and a + 2 < 1? A. All Real Numbers B. No Solution

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

rearrange these 2 inequalities: a > 5 and a < -3 what do u think now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a is between -3 and 5?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

no they imply that a is greater than 5 AND less than -3 does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

right so your answer is B

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

if a is between -3 and 5 the inequality would read a > 5 OR a < -3

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

OK?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

a cannot have 2 values so there are no solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

or rather a cannot have 2 values at the same time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks
