HELPP ME PLEASE !Choose the correct description of the graph of the compound inequality 2x + 5 > 9 and 5x less than or greater to 30 A number line with an open circle on 2, shading to the left, and a closed circle on 6, shading to the right. A number line with an open circle on 2, a closed circle on 6, and shading in between. A number line with a closed circle on 2, shading to the left, and an open circle on 6, shading to the right. A number line with a closed circle on 2, an open circle on 6, and shading in between.h
can you solve the inequalities ?
No im really bad at it
they are solved just like equations except for the fact, that when dividing/multiplying by a negative number, the inequality sign changes
can you solve equations ?
yeah
2x + 5 > 9.......pretend this is an equation....can you solve for x ?
its x>2
now do the other inequality the same way
I believe the other inequality is supposed to be less then or equal
x<=6
so we have 2x greater then 2 and x less then or equal to 6. Quick lesson... If it is greater then, shading goes to the right, if it is less then, shading goes to the left. Only use a closed circle if there is an equal sign, if there is not an equal sign involved, use an open circle.
2x+5>9 2x>9-5 2x>4 x>2 ...(1) 5x <>30 x< .6 ,x not equal to 6 ...(2) from (1) & (2) \[x \in \left( 2,6 \right)\cup \left( 6,\infty \right)\]
oops...x greater then 2
so is the answer a
no......try again
kelliegirl33?
C ?
x is greater then 2, and less then or equal to 6
