Question

find all real numbers x such that 4x -18 < 2 or -17x-8 <-25

anonymous · Answer

$$4x -18 <2 or -17x -8 \le -25 $$

zzr0ck3r · Answer

4x-18<2 solve for x
4x<20
x<5

do the same thing for the other one and tell me what you have

Same equations as here http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/51d3a16be4b08d0a48e4bedd So we can jump right at $$\Large \color{blue}{x\ge 5}$$and$$\Large \color{red}{x\le1}$$ immediately.... if you don't mind...

terenzreignz · Answer

rather, same inequalities (facepalm)

Oh, wait, no.

terenzreignz · Answer

This time it's less than ... (double facepalm)

terenzreignz · Answer

You know what... two fails in one question is a sign that @zzr0ck3r should do it -.-

zzr0ck3r · Answer

4x-18<2 solve for x
4x<20
x<5

doing the same thing for the other equation
-17x-8 <-25
-17x<-17
x>1

so
1<x<5

zzr0ck3r · Answer

do you see how I did this?

terenzreignz · Answer

Though you probably shouldn't compound them into 
1 < x < 5
that kind of implies an AND instead of an OR as it is in the question. Just sayin' :)

zzr0ck3r · Answer

yeah so x>1 or x<5

Let's graph :D
|dw:1372826226662:dw|

terenzreignz · Answer

First, $x\ge1$
Shaded circle above 1, and the $\ge $ 'points to the right' so...|dw:1372826307449:dw|

so would it like |dw:1372826123312:dw|
