Question

Choose the correct description of the graph of the compound inequality

x - 3 < -9 or x + 5 greater than or equal to 12

A number line with an open circle on -6, shading to the left, and a closed circle on 7, shading to the right.

A number line with an open circle on -6, a closed circle on 7, and shading in between.

A number line with a closed circle on -6, shading to the left, and an open circle on 7, shading to the right.

A number line with a closed circle on -6, an open circle on 7, and shading in between.

Answer 1

You need to draw each inequality in your graph(roughly), BUT before that simplify your inequality:
x-3 < -9 is same as x+6< 0 (if I add equal number (9) on both sides - the inequality should still be maintained)
Similarly do with the other equation

Answer 2

*inequality

Answer 3

Then draw them on the number line and the OR of their areas (sum) will tell you your answer
