Solve the compound inequality 6b < 24 or 4b + 12 > 4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to start it?

OpenStudy (ibeyoshiii):

I wish I did. :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright treat each equation as a separate one and solve for b in each

OpenStudy (ibeyoshiii):

Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ill do the first, 6b < 24 6b < 24 /6 /6 b<4

OpenStudy (ibeyoshiii):

< is a closed or open circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its open because it isnt equal to.

OpenStudy (ibeyoshiii):

Okay. Thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem! After that, since it is or, you will just say b<4 or (whatever you get in the second part)

OpenStudy (ibeyoshiii):

4b + 12 > 4. -12 -12 4b > -8 /4 /4 b > -2 That correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep, so did the original equation say "or", or did is say "and"

OpenStudy (ibeyoshiii):

Or.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright, so it can't be both at the same time, does that make sense?

OpenStudy (ibeyoshiii):

I guess so. Yeah.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright and just combine the two for your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you cant combine them like an and though

OpenStudy (ibeyoshiii):

Okay. Thanks a lot! I appreciate you helping me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it will just be "b < -2, or b > 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem, good luck!

OpenStudy (ibeyoshiii):

Alright. Thanks.
