Question

Choose the correct description of the graph of the compound inequality

x - 3 < -7 or x + 5 greater than or equal to 8

Answer 1

Open circle on 8, shading to the left.

Closed circle on 8, shading to the left.

Open circle on 8, shading to the right.

Closed circle on 8, shading to the right.

Answer 2

x - 3 < -7 , x + 5 ≥ 8
solve for x and write it as a compound inequality.
then graph it on the number line.

Answer 3

.. you just restated the question..

Answer 4

I just told you how to do it.
This site isn't here to do your work.

Answer 5

x - 3 < -7 , x + 5 ≥ 8
is not written in a compound inequality form
the compound inequality form would be something like
3 < x ≤ 8

Answer 6

From there it should be fairly simple to graph it on the number line.

Answer 7

If I knew how to dove for x I would have done it. I'm not asking for someone to do it. I'm asking for understanding of the topic.

Answer 8

what are the options?

Answer 9

solve*

Answer 10

Open circle on 8, shading to the left.

Closed circle on 8, shading to the left.

Open circle on 8, shading to the right.

Closed circle on 8, shading to the right

Answer 11

ok hold on and I'll try to explain

Answer 12

Ok tyt

Answer 13

first split it up x-3<-7 and x+5>=8

x-3<-7
+3 +3
x<-4


for the second part
x+5>=8
-5 -5
x>=3
so it would end up being x is less than -4 and greater than or equal to 3

what do you think it is from there?

Answer 14

You'd have to graph it?

Answer 15

yes and I did something wrong hold on

Answer 16

Open=Greater or less then
Clossed= greater and equal to and less then and equal to.

Answer 17

Oh okay holding on lol

Answer 18

from that information what do you think it would be?

Answer 19

would it be closed circle at -4 shading to the left and open circle at 3 shading to this right?

Answer 20

I did something wrong on that so forget what I said on that lol from 8 would it be open or closed to start with?

Answer 21

ok now I'm confused on the 8 thing hold on and I'm going to look it up

Answer 22

Alright

Answer 23

everything I have seen you simplify and go from there but this goes from 8 not the simplified x :/ we are supposed to be graphing x right?

Answer 24

I honestly have no idea :/

Answer 25

ok I see what they are doing. It will be closed since it is greater than or equal to x so it is either B or D. do you think the shading goes to the left or right?

Answer 26

To the right.

Answer 27

yes so D and sorry for the confusion

Answer 28

I read it wrong and it made it really hard to understand but it should be D tell me if that's right (:

Answer 29

Thank you, I will inform you if it is right (:
